The new long-term care insurance program in Germany

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to characterize the Long-Term Care Insurance Program in Germany. A number of similarities and differences between the program and conventional German social insurance-centered welfare systems were examined. These include entitlement criteria, reimbursement rules, and the effect of cash as an alternative choice to services. Results indicated that the insurance program supports the country's tradition of social insurance-based welfare provision. In addition, the program promotes coping schemes and care arrangements.

The results suggest that individual differences in demand elasticity are relatively consistent across time, but do not seem to be consistent across products.
