Moses to debate long-term care at Cato event
Steve Moses of The Center for Long Term Care Financing will be appearing at a Cato Institute event that will be broadcast online:
Medicaid and the Long-Term Care Crisis -- Who Should Pay?
POLICY FORUM
Wednesday, September 7, 2005
12:00 PM (Luncheon to follow)
Featuring Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform, Inc.; Vincent J. Russo, Certified Elder Law Attorney, Past President, National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys; with comments by Michael F. Cannon, Director of Health Policy Studies, Cato Institute; and moderated by Ceci Connolly,* National Health Policy Reporter, Washington Post.
Medicaid, the joint federal-state health care program created in 1965 for the poor, is imposing a growing burden on taxpayers. It has grown larger than Medicare, the federal health care program for the elderly, and already accounts for a larger share of state expenditures than elementary and secondary education. Part of that growth is due to many middle-income seniors using Medicaid to pay for nursing home expenses and other long-term care. Those seniors own assets that could cover such expenses for a period of time, either directly or by purchasing long-term care insurance. Should their assets be used to help Congress cut projected Medicaid expenditures? Please join us for a debate that could profoundly affect the future of Medicaid and long-term care.
If you can't make it to the Cato Institute, watch this forum live online.
