“The second failed attempt at public insurance for long-term services and supports”

“The second failed attempt at public insurance for long-term services and supports,” by Mark J. Warshawsky, AEI

 

Quote:

“In short, we have another public LTSS insurance program that is deeply unpopular, poorly designed, unstable, insolvent ab initio, perhaps illegal, and, without major changes, failed. Does anyone want to try a third time, or should we instead focus on improving the mixed public-private system we currently have to be sustainable for federal and state government budgets and to encourage private resourcing of LTSS care needs?”

 

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

AEI’s Mark Warshawsky provides an excellent analysis and critique of the WA Cares program.
