“A Two-Year Reprieve For Medicare Insolvency Sounds Like Good News. But It Isn’t”

“A Two-Year Reprieve For Medicare Insolvency Sounds Like Good News. But It Isn’t,” by Howard Gleckman, Forbes 

 

Quote:

“Congress could create a fully-funded public long-term care insurance program to help families pay the high costs of these supports and services. In a perfect world, Congress would do a top-to-bottom redesign of Medicare. That won’t happen, but lawmakers can’t continue to look the other way while one of the most important—and most popular—federal program gradually collapses.”

 

 

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

Policy schizophrenia: a whole column about what’s wrong with Medicare from a guy who wants to “fix” long-term care with the same faulty principles that ruined Medicare.
