Long-Term Care Financing<\/h3>

As people live longer and the Baby Boom generation ages, the need for long-term services and support (LTSS) has grown. For decades, policymakers have proposed a range of ideas to address funding gaps\u2014but solutions have been elusive. With a long-term care system in the U.S. that is antiquated, underfunded, poorly coordinated and not centered on meeting the needs of the people it serves, diverse and bipartisan stakeholders believe now is the time for action. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This interactive compendium organizes a broad range of potential solutions that have been put forward over the last three decades – from enhancing public coverage, expanding private market options, or both. The tool highlights that policymakers and advocates do not need to start from scratch \u2013 they can pull from the many innovative policy proposals of the past to inform their work going forward. What is needed now, more than ever, is the elevation of these ideas, and the activation to finally move solutions forward in a meaningful way.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
