<p>In this episode, I sit down with New Jersey Senator, Andy Kim, to talk about the realities of caregiving for his father while also raising his young kids. Andy shares the personal story of his father’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis, how fast his family’s life changed, and the emotional and financial challenges of finding the right care. We dive into the gaps within Medicare and Medicaid, what needs to change systemically for caregivers, and the legislation he’s working on to support families. Andy shares his biggest worries for our kids&#39; future - from mental health to social media - and why he believes universal healthcare is a must in our country. Plus, we talk about his favorite part about Jersey!</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Key Takeaway / Points:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Andy’s personal experience as a caregiver for his father with Alzheimer’s</p></li><li><p>The realities of being part of the “sandwich generation,” and caring for aging parents while raising children</p></li><li><p>The financial burden that many caregivers face in our country and the truth behind the limitations of Medicare</p></li><li><p>Andy’s work on current legislation to help provide support for caregivers and families</p></li><li><p>His biggest worries for the next generation - from the mental health crisis to the use of technology</p></li><li><p>Andy’s mission for universal healthcare and affordability for caregivers</p></li><li><p>The challenges of his job as a Senator and his goal to shape the kind of America he wants his kids to grow up in</p></li><li><p>Andy’s love of New Jersey</p><p><br></p></li></ul><p>Sign up for his newsletter at <a href="http://kim.senate.gov" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">kim.senate.gov</a></p><p><br></p><p>Follow Andy:</p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/senatorandykim/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@senatorandykim</a></p><p><br></p><p>Follow me:</p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cameronoaksrogers/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@cameronoaksrogers</a></p><p>Substack: <a href="https://cameronoaksrogers.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Fill Your Cup</a></p><p>Website: <a href="http://cameronoaksrogers.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">cameronoaksrogers.com</a></p><p>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@cameronoaksrogers" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@cameronoaksrogers</a></p><p>Youtube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA1ZezsFgphcediUbG_LldA" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Cameron Rogers</a></p>
