Seattle—
LTC Bullets readers often ask us for sample speeches from which they can draw
ideas to use in their own public addresses.
We've obliged occasionally by posting transcripts of lectures delivered
by Center for LTC Financing President Steve Moses on our web site at www.centerltc.org. We've received so much positive feedback on
these postings that we have decided to add more of Steve's talks to the site.
The speech we are posting today is entitled "The Mote in LTC's Eye."
You can find the transcript at http://www.centerltc.org/speakers/mote.htm. This talk argues that public criticism of
the long-term care service delivery and insurance professions is often
overblown, heavily biased, and grossly unfair. Conversely, the media and senior
advocates who lambaste long-term care providers and insurers rarely apply the
same strict standards of review and criticism toward public programs. Nevertheless, Medicaid and Medicare are
arguably more responsible for long-term care's serious access and quality
problems than is the private sector.
Do you struggle to provide compassionate care to frail elders for minimal
compensation while cringing at the media drumbeat that you are greedy and
uncaring? Are you doing your best to
sell long-term care insurance to people in denial while critics label you slick
and duplicitous? Do you advocate
private financing of long-term care with reason, logic and evidence in the face
of emotional appeals and ad hominem attacks by public financing advocates? If you answered "yes" to any of
these questions, you'll find value in this speech.
If you do find value in this Bullet, please forward it to everyone you know who
might benefit and encourage them all to subscribe (for free) to LTC Bullets and
to visit the Center's web site. We need you to help spread the word.
