Financing Long-Term Care: Public vs. Private Solutions
A Conversation with Richard G. Frank, PhD, Narda Ipackchi, MBA, and R. Tamara Konetzka, PhD, moderated by Rachel M. Werner, MD, PhD
12:00p.m. – 1:00p.m. ET December 12, 2025 Virtual Event
The U.S. has no comprehensive system to pay for long-term care, leaving many families to exhaust their savings or leave the workforce to care for aging loved ones. Policy solutions range from expanding public programs to stabilizing the private insurance market, or combining both approaches, as recent bipartisan efforts propose. Yet past policy chapters highlight just how challenging–and costly–this issue remains. This seminar will bring together experts to examine the policy options and political landscape shaping the future of long-term care—and explore what it will take to build a sustainable system to care for aging Americans.
