Given historical cost growth tracked by Genworth and Altarum, the total value of LTC provided in 2030 could reach between $1.3 trillion and $2.5 trillion. [22] It is estimated that the cost of paid care will be roughly $414 billion. This estimate assumes the same utilization rates described above.
Assessing the Proposal. Biden’s plan to hire 1.5 million health care workers may suffice to cover projected long-term care needs.

The Department of Defense (DOD) provides health care for 9.5 million military service members, retirees, and family members through military treatment facilities (MTFs) and a self-funded, self-administered insurance program called TRICARE.[1] The mission of the military health care system is to maintain the health of military personnel, and their families, so that they are capable of carrying ...
AAF previously estimated that the cost of various types of long-term care (LTC) over the next decade will increase between 20 percent for home health aides and up to 47 percent for assisted living facilities, based on current trends. Given these projections, the total cost of LTC needed in 2030 could reach between $1.3 trillion and $2.5 trillion.
The risk and prevalence of chronic disease grows as individuals age. Approximately 27 percent of children in the United States suffer from a chronic condition, while about 6 percent of children have more than one chronic condition. [5] In contrast, around 60 percent of adults suffer from at least one chronic condition, while 42 percent suffer ...
Given the nearly 135 million health care records that have been compromised in more than 1,200 separate data breaches since October 2009, AAF estimates the total cost of these breaches to be $50.6 billion in less than 6 years. It is important to recognize that the majority of this cost comes from the exceptionally high number of records ...
