Stephen A. Moses

Stephen A. Moses, founder of the Center for Long-Term Care Reform, dives deep into Medicaid's long-term care issues. He reveals how asset sheltering by middle-class families shifts costs to taxpayers, driving up spending and compromising quality. Moses explains the flaws in estate recovery rules and the 'two Mercedes' rule that lets wealthier households qualify for Medicaid. He advocates for reforms to tighten eligibility, eliminate home equity exemptions, and introduce block grants to better control costs and improve access for the most vulnerable.
