Long-term care insurance (LTCI) can be purchased privately.
If a public social LTSS insurance system is enacted, private long-term care insurance (LTCI) should be designed to supplement its benefits.
Federal and state governments should improve the quality of LTCI by enacting the strongest possible consumer protection standards.
The public and private sectors should educate consumers about LTCI and methods for private financing of LTSS.
LTCI companies should be required to cover both nursing facility care and a wide range of home- and community-based services so individuals can receive services in their preferred setting.
