Long-term health care

Article Abstract:

Reduced mortality and increasing life spans are leading to higher health care costs and a greater need for long-term health care. The number of carriers of long-term care insurance has grown from about 50 in 1988 to more than 130 in 1992. This type of insurance protects individuals' assets in the event of a long-term injury or illness and allows them to purchase home care and community care benefits. The public and private sectors must work together to develop the insurance market.
