ABOUT THE ARTICLE

As America’s elderly population rapidly grows, the number of elders that will require Long-Term Care (“LTC”) will correspondingly increase. Many elders lack the financial resources to pay for such care, and existing government programs that currently pay for LTC are underfinanced. While solutions have been proposed, no proposed solution has solved the core issue: how will millions of elders pay for LTC?
