House Democrats Ignore Long-Term Care Financing Reform

House Democratic leaders Tuesday unveiled their bill to reform America’s health care system — and insure an additional 37 million Americans over the next 10 years – to the tune of more than $1 trillion, funded mostly through an up-to-5.4 percent surtax on income for the wealthiest Americans.  What’s missing?  Long-term care financing reform.  All they talk about is "studies."  Ideally as this process winds its way through, long-term care financing reform will be put where it needs to be – in health care reform.
