“Paper analyzes government policy’s role in creating LTC problems”

“Paper analyzes government policy’s role in creating LTC problems,” by Kathleen Steele Galvin, McKnight’s Senior Living

Quote:

“The Medicaid program is largely responsible for problems in long-term care, according to a paper recently published by the Paragon [Health] Institute. … Public financing created and worsened inherent problems in long-term care, according to Moses. Medicare and Medicaid programs have both thwarted private sector financing and services tailored to consumer preferences, he said. … Moses’ next paper, Long-Term Care: The Solution, is expected to be published next year and will suggest reforms to address the problems caused by what he considers misguided government policies.”

 

 

LTC Comment, Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform:

The current paper on “The Problem” tees up “The Solution” aimed at a new, hopefully more receptive Congress, taking office early next year.
