At age 65, a person has a 70 percent chance of needing some type of long-term care in their future years – at an average cost of $48,000.

The default financing source has become Medicaid, which provides publicly funded health care for those in poverty. But the growing number of people turning to Medicaid is creating a crisis in public funding. In short, we face an unprecedented set of enormous costs that we have not prepared for, either individually or publicly. Medicaid as the fallback is unsustainable.

This is a multi-generational issue, a quality of life issue, and a fiscal security issue.

Join the Citizens League and Ecumen to learn about the problem; the steps Minnesotan businesses, government, and citizens need to take to solve it; and what can be done this legislative session.
