title: Long-term care begins to emerge as an issue in health reform debate.
abstract: With the recent introduction of long-awaited legislation based on recommendations from the Pepper Commission, long-term-care reform may finally be getting more notice on Capitol Hill. But with the White House and the presidential candidates showing little interest and with attention fixated on acute-care reform, those in the long-term-care arena see little chance for any changes soon.
