Health care for all: long-term care, the missing piece. A roundtable discussion: Part 3
Abstract:
Long-term care has been described as the "missing piece" in many healthcare reform proposals. Yet the cost of nursing home care often exceeds that of acute care, especially for the elderly with Alzheimer's disease. In this final installment of a three-part roundtable discussion, panelists discuss the options for providing long-term care, such as social insurance, a single-payer system, play or pay, or private insurance models. Alternatives to nursing home care, such as community service centers and home care, are discussed. The panelists conclude with an examination of how these proposed reforms might affect the practices of physicians and the U.S. economy.
