“Easy
Medicaid Access Discourages Long-term Care Planning,”
by Kevin Stone, Health Care News
Quote:
“To resolve persistent problems in the nation’s long-term care (LTC)
system, the government must eliminate loopholes that allow people to
easily qualify for Medicaid payment, concludes a report titled ‘Long-Term
Care: The Solution,’ by Stephen Moses, president of the Center for
Long-Term Care Reform (CLTCR), published by the Paragon Health Institute
in November. ‘Too many people end up on Medicaid, which pays too little to
ensure access to quality home care and causes excessive reliance on
institutionalization and unpaid help from families and friends,’ wrote
Brian Blase, president of Paragon, in an announcement of the report’s
release.”
LTC Comment:
After you read this review, check out the studies on which it is based: “Long-Term
Care: The Problem”
and “Long-Term
Care: The Solution.”
Then watch a
75-minute video
about these issues moderated by Ken Dychtwald with analysis by experts
from the Urban Institute and the American Enterprise Institute. Long-term
care is complicated and problematic, but fixable. This content explains
how.
