LOS ANGELES TIMES Title: INSURE: Home Care May Be in Package Continued from A1 (unavailable at this time) The emerging basic benefits package, which is also expected to cover mental health services and electlve abortions. is at the core of the overall health care reform agenda that the President is expected to unveil in mid-June. That the President has tentatively decided to include long-term care in the basic benefits package ls not a surprise. although it marks a dramatic new turn in federal health policy. Administration officials. most notably Mrs. Clinton, have strongly argued that long-term custodial care at home is much cheaper than that provided in a health care institution or a nursing home. The long-term care program is expected to be vigorously supported by such powerful groups as the American Assn. of Retired Persons—but just as strongly opposed by the insurance industry. which would like to see private insurers continue selling such policies. Whether the long-term care program will gain widespread middle-class support remains to be seen. On the one hand. the cost of the President's health care reform could roach $90 billion or more a year. and that could sap popular support for his agenda, including the long-term care coverage. Yet key Administration officials view long-term care as a family issue that cuts across generations and they are known to believe that such coverage would gain the support of members of the middle class because it affords them a new measure of peace of mind. "Protection from the high cost of long-term care increases the public's willingness to support and pay for health care reform," said Judith N. Brown, who chairs AARP's board of directors. An estimated 7 million disabled Americans need help annually with basic daily tasks, and that number may double by the year 2030, according to Sen. William S. Cohen of Maine. the ranking Republican member on the Senate Special Committee on Aging. Today, nearly half of all long-term care costs are paid for out-of- pocket by those in need or their families. The high costs of such labor-intensive care often wipes out the life savings of those without long-term care coverage, forcing them into Medicaid programs to make them eligible for government-subsidized nursing home care. The Administration's long-term goal is to provide coverage for institutional care as well. One top insurance industry official called It "a fundamental mistake" to include long-term care for all disabled Americans regardless of age or wealth. "Those who can afford to cure for themselves should attempt to take care of themselves." he said, asking to rennin anonymous. According lo one set of options prepared for the President by his task force working group on long-term care, purchase of such coverage could be voluntary. During a recent closed meeting with members of Congress. Mrs. Clinton cited as one model for the White House a program in Wisconsin that began in the mid-1980s called Community Options Program. It now serves 11,300 disabled persons. And by keeping them out of more expensive nursing homes or other institutions, the $71.6-million program is saving an average of more than $100 million annually, officials said. COI has a two-year waiting list of 3,700 persons. The program uses personal case-managers in each county and is often tailored to each individual. A similar program in Arkansas, which also has served as a paradigm for the Administration, has 10,000 beneficiaries, many of whom are costing the state $300 a month instead of $1,200 a month for intermediate care in a nursing home, officials said.

THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON April 29, 1994 Greetings to everyone gathered in our nation's capital to voice your support for providing health security to all Americans. I am delighted that so many of you have come together for this exciting event. Now is the time to act on our awareness that disabilities are a natural part of the human experience. Having a disability does not diminish one's right to participate in any aspect of mainstream society. With the shared strengths of all those participating in this rally, you send a powerful message —— the key to improving the quality of life for millions of Americans with disabilities and their families is passing a comprehensive health care plan that meets the needs of each one of our citizens. The active participation of groups like ADAPT, the National Council on Independent Living, and the Consortium of Citizens with Disabilities is essential in meeting this crucial goal. I commend you for working toward making health care reform a reality. Your knowledge and expertise are helping to advance the rights of and services for all Americans, especially those persons with disabilities, and I thank you for your leadership and dedication. Working together, we can build a health care system that moves our nation from exclusion to inclusion, from dependence to independence, and from paternalism to empowerment. Hillary joins me in extending best wishes to all for a successful rally. [signed] Bill Clinton
