摘要
Insurance can provide a way to plan for and finance the risk of needing paid long-term-care (LTC) services. Effective use of insurance can play a crucial role in mitigating risk for individuals, which in turn can facilitate economic growth on a larger scale. But the total number of private LTC insurance policies in effect in the United States remains small. The need to insure against LTC risk remains; this article lays out ways in which the public and private markets could work together to offer insurance coverage.
