LTC Bullet: Long-Term Care's Race for Survival
Monday February 5, 2001
Seattle—
LTC Bullets readers often ask us for sample speeches from which they can draw
ideas to use in their own public addresses.
We've obliged occasionally by posting transcripts of lectures delivered
by Center for LTC Financing President Stephen Moses on our website at www.centerltc.org. We've received so much positive feedback on
these postings that we have
decided to add more of Steve's talks to the site.
The speech we are posting today is entitled "Long-Term Care's Race for
Survival." You can find the transcript at the Center for LTC Financing's
website at www.centerltc.org/speakers/soa_triathlon.htm. Steve Moses gave this talk to the First
Annual Society of Actuaries Intercompany LTCI Conference in Miami, Florida on
January 23, 2001. In it, he summarizes
the Center's recently published LTC Triathlon study. He diagnoses the malaise in America's long-term care service
delivery and financing system. And he
makes an appeal for greater communication and cooperation between the private
sector financiers, providers and insurers of long-term care. Will America have an adequate long-term care
system when the baby boomers need one?
How will we pay for it? What must we do now to prepare? If you've ever asked yourself these
questions, you'll want to read and consider this speech.
For future reference, the Society of Actuaries LTCI conference was a huge
success. Attendance exceeded
expectations. The content was
high-level and outstanding. Watch for
the second annual version of this meeting, attend, and see for yourself. Congratulations to Jim Glickman, Claude
Thau, and all the others who brought this fine event to fruition.
