Millions of seniors enrolled in Medicare would miss out on the expanded access to in-home care benefits proposed in the Biden administration's $400 billion plan to boost the caregiving industry.

But the plan does not address the lack of coverage for many in-home care services under Medicare, the government-funded health insurance program for those age 65 and older.
