Assignment:

Although most other major industrialized nations have adopted successful long-term care social insurance programs (Gleckman, 2010), the United States has not. Many people believe that a major expansion of the PACE concept presented in Chapter 12, combined with comprehensive social insurance for long-term care, could provide a badly needed solution to the problems of long-term care in the United States. What are the pros and cons of enacting a policy to expand PACE and implement social insurance for long-term care is a good idea? Explain your response.
