Abstract

This article begins in Part I by giving a brief introduction to the historical development of long-term care. Part II focuses on what "long-term" care entails and describes the types of individuals who are in need of it. Part III investigates the various costs of long-term care and the sources responsible for paying those costs. Part IV provides a general overview of long-term care insurance. Part V argues that other alternatives to long-term care insurance are not viable options to pay for long-term care. Part VI discusses the implications of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. And finally, Part VII explains who should purchase long-term care insurance and when they should purchase it.
