Today, the Long-Term Financing Collaborative (LTCFC) released their final report: A Consensus Framework for Long-Term Care Financing Reform.

The proposals released today includes:

• Clear private and public roles for long-term care financing
• A new universal catastrophic long-term care insurance program
• Redefining Medicaid LTSS
• Encouraging private long-term care insurance initiatives
• Increasing retirement savings and improving public education

LTCFC is a diverse group of policy experts and stakeholders from across the political spectrum. Since its first meeting in 2012, LTCFC has envisioned a public and private insurance-based financing system that would allow everyone to receive high quality LTSS. LTCFC is a project of Convergence Center for Policy Resolution.
