George A. (Sandy) Mackenzie

in Books from Upjohn Press from W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research

Abstract: This book is a concise survey of the development of U.S. long-term care and its financing, with comparisons with other rich countries. It also includes a brief comparative account of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States and several other countries. The study finds much that is amiss with American long-term care and proposes three sets of progressively more ambitious reforms.
