Toward a More Efficient and Effective System of Financing Long-Term Care
We hope you will join us Monday June 11, 2007, for a discussion on moving public policy Toward a More Efficient and Effective System of Financing Long-Term Care.
This forum is organized by The Georgetown University Long-Term Care Financing Project with financial support from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
In four years the first of the baby boom generation will turn age 65. Ten years later the first of the baby boom generation will be approaching age 75, an age at which more people are in need of long-term care. However, close to 4 out of 10 people who need long-term care or supportive care services are under the age of 65; reflecting the fact that while the risk varies with age, all of us are at risk of needing long-term care at any age. As more and more Americans confront long-term care, it will become harder to ignore the profound threat long-term care is to the income security and overall well-being of families.
Over the course of the day, the forum will:
- examine why the current financing options need to be changed, and
- explore specific financing options developed by a diverse group of experts commissioned under this project.
Forum participants include Nancy Barrand*,Christine Bishop, Sheila Burke, Bing Chen, Susan Cornell, John Cutler, Susan Dentzer, Judy Feder, Robert Friedland, Karen Ignani*, Chris Jennings, Richard Johnson, Jim Knickman, Marty Lynch, Barbara Manard, Mark Meiners, Mark McClellan*, Bill Scanlon, Diane Rowland, Stephen Somers, Anne Tumlinson, Mark Warshawsky, and Alan Weil.*
