Vice President Kamala Harris unveiled a new plan to cover in-home health care for seniors, a proposal she said would ease the burden on working adults responsible for aging parents and raising children.

“It’s just almost impossible to do it all. Especially if they work — we’re finding that so many are then having to leave their job,” Harris said on ABC’s The View, during one of three major interviews set for Tuesday.
