This episode is about the Oklahoma Caring for Caregivers Act which will, if it passes the state sentate, provide a tax credit to reimburse family caregivers who have spent money on the care of their loved one. It's one piece of asstance, dwarfed by the estimated labor value of 6.6 billion dollars annually provided by Oklahoman family caregivers. Still, the bipartisan support of such measures around the country, could lead one to believe that we as a nation are moving in the direction that future family caregivers will be well cared for themselves. We discuss the relation between policy on the state and Federal level, with state programs often being incubators for Federal policy.
