Message on Long-Term Care in Health Reform Getting Traction

The message on needing to make long-term care financing reform part of health care reform is starting to get some traction on Capitol Hill. Thank you to all of you who made calls last week in front of the Senate Special Committee on Aging.Committee chair Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.) opened the hearing by saying:

“Our message is a simple one: any serious health reform proposal must address long-term care. With America aging at an unprecedented rate, and with the high and rising costs of caring for a loved one, it is crucial that long-term care services are addressed.”To read testimony at the hearing, go here.
