Decision '08
About half of the country has yet to vote in their party's primary election, but already the presumed winners have emerged. John McCain will be the Republican presidential candidate, while Barack Obama is poised to represent the Democrats.
Our country is facing so many important issues, but is anyone talking about the long-term care of our nation's aging population? The topic is largely absent from political debate.
Check out the candidates' Web sites, and health care is of course a top priority, but largely as it relates to uninsured workers and children, prescription costs and electronic health records.

The industry associations are doing their part to lobby for long-term care, but the more voices heard, the better. Contact the candidates, and your local legislators, and tell them why what you do is so important.
