NJ Sen. Andy Kim Opens Up About Father’s Alzheimer’s Diagnosis | Amanpour and Company [eSHP85OqOGS]
Alzheimer's disease is a growing medical crisis in America, with the number of cases having doubled in the past 25 years. Researchers now fear the quest for a cure could be set back significantly as funding is frozen, delayed and revoked. One year after he was sworn in, New Jersey Senator Andy Kim used his maiden speech on the Senate floor to draw attention to the matter. He tells Hari Sreenivasan about the difficult road ahead for caregivers — as he becomes a caregiver himself.
