<strong>Illinois</strong> must change from being an “institutionalized state” to one that provides a continuum of<br />
long-term care in each area of the state. <strong>Illinois</strong> spends 77% of its Medicaid funds on<br />
institutional care, compared to 35% in some other states. We must have supportive living and<br />
assisted-living-type of facilities.<br />
Don Chandro (Cooperative Healthcare Planning Services — health insurance): More<br />
people need long-term care insurance. A long-term care tax credit would help more<br />
people purchase services and lower the state’s expense.<br />
