What is the CARING System?

The CARING System is a visionary, community-based approach to transforming how America delivers education, healthcare, social security, human services, and substance abuse support. Rather than relying on thousands of fragmented government programs, it establishes five locally managed, government-regulated organizations accountable to the people they serve. Developed by the Institute for CARING over nearly three decades, the system helps individuals become self-sufficient by reducing waste and restoring joy in giving and dignity in receiving. When implemented, the CARING System can save taxpayers up to 60%. By working in alignment with our political, legal, and economic systems, it strengthens democracy and builds more resilient, connected communities.

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


“It’s time to trade our failing system for the CARING System and ensure a better America for generations to come.”

– Pastor George Grace



“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
