Sept 2008 — Suzanne Mintz, president and co-founder of the National Family Caregivers Association, talks about "The Campaign Trail: Who's Talking to Caregivers?" in her September Blog featured on CareCentral.com.

Suzanne begins this month's blog with:

"The conventions are over and the campaign is going into its final days. This is a big election for family caregivers because healthcare reform is going to be a major issue for the next president, regardless of who he is.

But family caregiving is not an issue that is at the top of the list of either presidential candidate or members of Congress. Our problems and solutions for them are not discussed on the campaign trail, so how do we get some attention. We don't talk about family caregiving. That's how. We talk about the issues of chronic disease."
