title: Long-term care & presidential politics: pushing for a plan.
abstract: For the past few years, policymakers have debated income security (Social Security) and health security (Medicare, patients' rights), while virtually ignoring the long-term care crisis. However, logically, long-term care should be at the core of these conversations because it is inextricably bound to both issues.
