What types of employer policies might&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; be appropriate regarding those engaged in providing long-term care for a family member?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Discuss:&nbsp; In what ways does assuring quality in the long-term care industry pose special challenges to regulators&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; and consumers?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The value of informal long-term care provided by family members and friends is estimated at over $450 billion annually, more than double the national expenditures for skilled nursing and home care combined. Much of this&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; cost would fall to government if it were not for this informal system. Would you support government assistance&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; for informal caregivers, through mechanisms such as tax reduction incentives, or subsidy for respite care? Why&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; or why not? If not, what alternative measures would you propose to help keep the informal system intact?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Shortages of health care personnel in the long-term care industry pose critical future challenges to the health&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; care system.
