The High Price of Living Longer: Pay-as-you-go or No Frills Aged Care?
The Productivity Commission's controversial recommendations for aged
care have provided food for thought for policymakers, insurers and many
older Australians. The news that an aging population must fund its own
care costs, where possible by drawing on that treasured asset, the
family home, was only the beginning. The insurance industry is
confronting market failure for its inability to provide long-term care
products. While many are hoping the government will pick up the slack, a
few older Australians already have taken flight for less costly living
offshore. But, as Australian School of Business actuarial professor
Michael Sherris says, the huge issue of funding aged care won't go away
so readily.
