Washington gathering to focus on long-term care reform

The Brookings Institute will hold a briefing on the future of long-term
care
reform Friday morning, and the guest list includes some heavy
hitters from inside the Beltway.



Three panels will convene to discuss a variety of topics including
quality and efficiency, new models for financing long-term care, and
the political prospects for long-term care reform. Moderating these
discussions will be Mark McClellan, former administrator of the Centers
for Medicare & Medicaid Services; Bob Kerry, president of The New
School; and Peter Orszag, director of the Congressional budget office.



Other notable participants at the briefing will be former Speaker of
the House Newt Gingrich, who is one of the event hosts; and Larry
Minnix, president and CEO of the American Association of Homes and
Services for the Aging. He will participate in the panel discussion on
long-term care financing. The briefing begins at 9 a.m. EST in room 902
of the Hart Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C.
