“Washington Becomes First State to Approve Publicly Funded Long-Term Care,” by Rachel M. Cohen, The Intercept

“The ultimate goal, advocates say, is some kind of universal family care, a comprehensive social infrastructure to support all the varied costs of care work from birth to death. ‘That’s our North Star,’ said Sarita Gupta, co-director of Caring Across Generations, a national campaign that launched in 2011. ‘We have really been trying to help people go from seeing care work as an individual burden to a shared responsibility that we’re all going to face.’”

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

Well, at least they’re clear about what they want to do: replace personal responsibility with compulsory government “sharing.”
