摘要: Based on a review of community care demonstrations, we conclude that expanding public financing services beyond what already exists is likely to increase costs. Small nursing home cost reductions are more than offset by the increased costs providing those who would remain at even without expanded services. However, appear make people better off and not cause substantial in family caregiving. Policymakers should move asking whether will reduce addressing how much society willing pay for, receive it, it can be delivered efficiently.
