What is the CARING System?

The CARING System is a visionary, community-based approach to reimagining how America delivers Education, Healthcare, Social Security, Human Services, and Substance Abuse support. Instead of relying on thousands of fragmented government programs, the CARING System creates five locally managed, yet government-regulated, organizations accountable to the people they serve.

Developed by the Institute for CARING over nearly three decades, the system empowers individuals become self-sufficient while reducing waste and restoring  joy in giving and dignity in receiving. When fully implemented, the CARING System can save taxpayers up to 60%, help balance the federal budget, and pay down the national debt.

By working in alignment with our political, legal, and economic systems, it not only strengthens democracy, but also builds stronger, more resilient, and more connected communities.

“There is no question after reading this book that the CARING System could change America.”
Dr. Robert Heineman

“The CARING System gets us back to what our forefathers imagined – a country where people take care of each other and the government gets out of the way.”
– General John Batiste
