The COVID-19 pandemic s heavy toll on older Americans highlights the need to strengthen the nation s safety net for people in need of long-term services and supports, an Oregon Health & Science University researcher and co-authors argue in a new report published by
Milbank Quarterly.
The report proposes a system of universal coverage to support the long-term care of all older Americans. This approach would protect against financial catastrophe and end the current system that is based on the need to be financially destitute in order to access coverage via Medicaid, the authors write. Such an approach would benefit both individuals and families and would also create a far more stable and more generous funding stream to providers.

Poetry Ireland with the Global Brain Health Institute at Trinity and Neuroscience Ireland is inviting older people across the island of Ireland to write a line of poetry for a ‘Poemathon with Older People’.
The contributions will be combined to form a longer poem that captures the thoughts and imaginings of older people right now in society. John Sheahan, one of Ireland’s best known musicians and member of The Dubliners, has penned the opening line of the poem: ‘
Intrepid intruder, stalker of unwashed hands’.
He will also be contributing the final line of the poem, which will be curated and edited by poet and editor Seamus Cashman.
