| Annotation | In the late 1980s, the United States (US), the United Kingdom (UK), and Germany had similar systems of financing and delivering long-term care. In contrast to the US, the UK and Germany enacted radical reform: the 1990 National Health Service and Community Care Act altered the financing of long-term care in the UK, and a nationally uniform, non-means-tested social insurance programme was enacted in Germany. This article analyses the post-reform experiences of the two countries with respect to issues of financing, assessment and case management, and the availability of home- and community-based services, policy implications for the US are developed.
