3 Background (continued) Medicaid Program Target group --low-income people Policy concern --improve health status with a limited budget --primary payer for LTC (nursing home) --high expenditures of nursing home

4 Motivation Aging population Increasing demand for LTC Burden for social welfare systems↑ → Implications for poor elderly? --scarcity → efficiency --encourage low costs alternatives for elder care to keep costs low Contribution

5 Questions What are the effects of Medicaid on LTC choices? Does Medicaid participation increase the total utilization of formal LTC? (exogenous) Formal Care & Informal Care: -- Does Medicaid crowd out informal home care? Nursing Home Care & Formal Home Care: -- Do Medicaid home care benefits reduce the use of nursing home care?
