A group of contributors examines the competing perspectives regarding individual and societal obligations to provide and finance long-term care for older citizens. They argue that the traditional juxtaposition of public and private responsibilities may no longer be germane for policy discussions.
Massive reforms affecting the financing of long-term care are taking place at both federal and state levels in the US. As a result, the debate over public versus private responsibilites for providing that care has become increasingly important in the formation of public policy. In this volume, a group of contributors examines competing perspectives regarding individual and societal obligations to provide and finance long-term care for older citizens. The authors argue that the traditional juxtaposition of public and private responsibilities in long-term care may no longer be germane in framing policy discussions around long-term care financing. The chapters are grouped into four sections: an introduction and overview, the theoretical context of public and private roles, a review of current policies and programmes for financing long-term care, and concluding policy recommendations. Integrating theory, practice and policy, the book is intended for professionals in gerontology, health policy and finance and public policy.
