Founder of Caregivers for Compromise after I took a job as a dishwasher in 2020 to get to my husband locked down in memory care. Go Dawgs. Go Jags.

Isolation kill too! That’s why my group is trying to get HR 9641, the Essential Caregivers Act passed. It’s thru Ways&Means but we need @RepGuthrie to bring it to Energy&Comm for markup. It allows an EC for everyone in LTC so we’re never locked out again. Would love your help!
We’re contacting @RepGuthrie & other Energy & Commerce members to bring HR9641 for markup. If passed there we can get to the floor for a vote. The bill allows an essential caregiver to always have access in LTC so we’re never locked out again! Your sharing could help!
My group, Caregivers for Compromise is trying to get the Essential Caregiver Act passed which just made it through the Ways and Means committee with a unanimous vote. We could sure use your help @JaniceDean so it gets passed in this session!
Thank you @RepTenney. The Essential Caregiver Act will make certain that we’re never locked out again! #isolationkillstoo
Thank you so much @RepTenney! We are so close to getting this important legislation passed! #isolationkillstoo
Thrilled to see my bipartisan Essential Caregivers Act advance through @WaysandMeansGOP.
During COVID, families were locked out while vulnerable seniors and people with disabilities were left isolated. That can never happen again.
This critical, commonsense legislation ensures loved ones can be there when they are needed most.

During COVID, families in NY were kept from their loved ones in their final moments.
They could not hold hands and were forced to say goodbye over the phone.
At today’s hearing with @SecKennedy, I made clear: my Essential Caregivers Act ensures this never happens again.

HR6766 and its companion bill S3492 applies to any emergency - health, disaster, weather, defense, alien invasion, zombie apocalypse, whatever - where people who depend on 24/7 skilled nursing to survive are restricted from their federal right to in-person access in the interest of health or safety. Families have worked on this for SIX YEARS and every session, it is given low or no priority. Please. Can we change that this session? @claudiatenney @JohnLarsonCT @JohnCornyn @SenBlumenthal @WaysMeansCmte @WaysandMeansGOP @RepLloydDoggett @LloydDoggettTX

I am the person he points to at the end of this clip & was honored to see his sincere feelings here. I am eternally grateful to @GovRonDeSantis for recognizing that #isolationkillstoo and leading the way to allow tens of thousands back to their loved ones in long term care.
What does Mason think?

The Federal Essential Caregivers Act guarantees that in any future federal, state, or local emergency, at least one person designated as an "essential caregiver" has the right to in-person access at all times to their loved one. Please sign this petition: thepetitionsite.com/813/946/…
Hey Acura, I am having an issue with case mgr who is not returning phone calls. I have asked for supervisor but have been told my concerns don’t warrant a supervisor response – by the case mgr I’m complaining about. Disappointing!
