New study: "The Realist's Guide to Medicaid and Long-Term Care"
HOW TO TAME THE MEDICAID FISCAL MONSTER
The Center for Long-Term Care Financing, a nonprofit think tank and public policy organization, released a new report today titled "The Realist's Guide to Medicaid and Long-Term Care."
The report explains (1) how America's long-term care service delivery and financing system became plagued by quality problems and bankruptcies, (2) why Medicaid, a welfare program, dominates long-term care funding and causes institutional bias, and (3) what must be changed in public policy to control explosive Medicaid costs and improve access to quality long-term care for everyone.
"The Realist's Guide to Medicaid and Long-Term Care" also highlights ten states, five of the worst and five of the best for long-term care policy.
The Council for Affordable Health Insurance and The American Legislative Exchange Council co-sponsored this study and are publishing an abridged, hard-copy version of the report titled "The Long-Term Care Dilemma: What States Are Doing Right - and Wrong."
