    Long Term Care Financing: Asking the Right Question

    Turn to page 5 in the recent MN Journal to read Stacy Becker's article on long term care: "It isn't just a question of how we pay for it."

    Stacy describes the current long term care financing problem facing Minnesota and the nation. She also talks about the Citizens League's long term care financing group, and the particular problem that it has defined. The number of Minnesota seniors is projected to double by 2030, and the long term care financing group believes the discussion should start here.

    Read the article here and feel free to share any comments on our policy blog.
