Older adults who lose Medicaid coverage when they transition to Medicare suffer higher out-of-pocket medical expenses and worsening health. Research conducted by @LTSSCenter in partnership with @NCOAging points to 3 areas of policy reform to soften the fall from "Medicare cliff."
Research from NCOA and @LeadingAge LTSS Center @UMassBoston (with funding from @ArnoldVentures) found that removing the MSP asset test and improving consumer outreach and education offer significant promise to those affected by the “Medicare Cliff."👇

The striking increase in-home caregiving costs stems from shortages in the country’s home health workforce coupled with rising wages for these workers, according to Marc Cohen, co-director of our @LTSSCenter.
An important story to tell, @AODNewz @thehill
The cost of in-home care for the elderly has increased by 14.2 percent over the last year, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Having a home health aide for an elderly family member is very expensive and it's going to get a lot worse:
