“2026 Long-Term Care Market Outlook,” OneAmerica
“As the American population continues to age, the amount of people needing care and the number of people being asked to provide care is reaching new heights. According to the report, families, caregivers, health care providers, insurers, employers, researchers and government programs are all feeling the strain. And no single sector will be able to handle the strain alone. Instead, the report outlines a new framework focused on interconnected care as a necessary path forward for handling these challenges.”
LTC Comment, Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform:
Good for OneAmerica as this report identifies key LTC challenges and proposes progress through “interconnected care.” But nowhere is the elephant in the room addressed—Medicaid. Until the LTCI industry recognizes Medicaid’s role in crowding out private insurance and mobilizes to fix the problem, little real progress will be made. To make sense of what ails LTC, read the Paragon Health Institute’s “Long-Term Care: The Problem” and “Long-Term Care: The Solution” and watch this “virtual LTC event” featuring age wave visionary Ken Dychtwald and leading LTC researchers. To find ample private funds for LTC, check out “Medicaid’s $100+ Billion Leak.” For what not to do, see “Medi-Cal-amity: California’s Reckless Expansion of Medicaid Long-Term Care to the Affluent.” Much more on long-term care here.
