Abstract

This Article proposes a new system of fudning long-term care that contemplates the issuing of securities. This mechanism is designed to supplement or supplant private insurance and to enable the private sector to play a more significant role. This Article considers the current funding alternatives for nursing home care, and specifically explores the types of facilities already in existence to serve the elderly in need of nursing home services. This article proceeds to explore the concept of a health care consortium, and discusses the various legal implications of the plan.
