  • Paying for Long Term Care

    The Citizens League is convening a broad group of stakeholders to answer the question: What policy changes are needed to create incentives for personal responsibility in long term care?

    Join us for a series of workshops in August to develop ideas for promoting incentives in three areas:

    Informal Care: Monday, August 3, noon to 4:00 p.m. and Tuesday, August 4, 8:30-11:30 a.m.

    Health and Medical Care: Monday, August 17, noon to 4:00 p.m. and Tuesday, August 18, 8:30-11:30 a.m.

    Financial Behaviors: Monday, August 24, noon to 4:00 p.m. and Tuesday, August 25, 8:30-11:30 a.m.

    Sign up for one or more of the workshops now.

    Our work on long term care builds on the 2008 Policy Open House, a two-day policy design workshop last summer, and a policy review by members. Click here to find out more.
