Long Term Care: Future Directions

• Investment environment likely to remain challenging, volatile

• Self-insurance through savings, annuities, reverse mortgages

• Private LTCI most reliable form of protection

• More public-private partnerships likely

• Efforts to curb Medicaid costs

• Renewed attention to Medicare

• FLTCIP, other large-scale employer-based programs,

preferred LTCI delivery models
