Explains the need and develops a strategy for reforming care policy over the next century. Examines the history, workings and shortcomings of existing care policy; analyses the supply, demand and elderly income patterns that will determine how big the future care bill will be; and discusses the need and options for change. Goes on to argue that the current system of care finance and service delivery are no longer adequate and proposes the establishment of a care insurance system to meet future needs.
