The U.S. spends over $200 billion a year on nursing home and home health services and about $20 billion on assisted living. Despite this massive expenditure, the vast majority of Americans have no insurance coverage for long-term care. Families are financially and personally exhausted by caregiving duties. All levels of government are locked in contentious debates with providers and each other over questions of who should pay and how to ensure high quality care. Amidst these challenges, demographic trends are poised to generate further demands on the system.  

Please join Avalere Health for a 90-minute interactive audio conference that will explore:

• Barriers to addressing long-term care challenges, and possible scenarios for change in the future,
• Specific federal reform proposals that address system challenges, and
• Incremental state-level changes that have the potential to relieve pressure in the system and leverage existing private and government resources.

• Senator Bob Kerrey, President of the New School and Co-Chair, National Commission for Quality Long-Term Care
  
• William Altman, Senior Vice President for Strategy and Public Policy, Kindred Health Systems
• Matt Salo, Director of the Health and Human Services Committee, National Governors Association
• Enid Kassner, Director, Independent Living and Long-Term Care, Public Policy Institute, AARP
  
• Anne Tumlinson, Senior Advisor, Avalere Health
