Senator Al Franken on Long-Term Care Financing Reform
Great editorial in yesterday's Minneapolis Star Tribune on long-term care financing reform. Very nice to see the new Senator from Minnesota talk about it:
"Long-term care holds enormous opportunities for bipartisan compromise. So many Minnesotans -- myself included -- have had mothers, fathers and spouses who relied on these services during what are incredibly difficult times. There's nothing partisan about caring for a loved one with dignity.''
Spot on.
Check out great Q&A in today's New York Times on Congress Tackling Long-Term Financing Reform. It's with Barbara Manard, a health economist with the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging. Their work has really been what has elevated this issue in Congress.
