Do you think that there should be benefits for those who are dedicated caregivers for family members and cannot work in order to take care of their loved one? If the person is under retirement age, do you think there should be any type of provision to help the caregiver out?? So many family members are becoming caregivers with the terminal illnesses rising in younger adults and children now, it is affecting families and impoverishing them.

Here in Australia caregivers are gien a small type of pension if they are caring for someone and I think that is fair enough as it save the the Government from having to provide and place and staff to do it, i think it is a good thing all round.
