Let's see... divide that by 300 million Americans, and it works out to 33 cents per person. Even though not every American will be caring for an elderly parent, I don't see this money going very far. What are they gonna do, print some informational pamphlets?

W/O knowing the details, I would guess it is for matching grants for programs like Meals on Wheels, etc.
Or even better, programs to support congregate living for seniors. Think of having the Golden Girls live in your neighborhood, but they cant because of local housing/zoning codes. Time to start addressing those needs in anticipation of the soon to be senior baby boomers.
