Abstract
President Biden on Thursday announced the latest compromise package agreed on with members of Congress for the domestic policy investments bill, commonly called “Build Back Better.” Despite cuts, the bill could still include a historic investment in family caregivers — individuals who regularly care for others. Our research finds that Americans broadly support investment in care infrastructure, despite the current U.S. climate of high partisan polarization — putting Republican lawmakers’ opposition to such policies at odds not just with Americans generally but even, at times, with their own voters.
