Twelve years after its introduction, long-term care insurance is back on the agenda and up for political reform. This paper shows why long-term care insurance needs to be reformed. The two central aspects on which reform projects focus are addressed: firstly, the structural improvement of nursing care and long-term care insurance and, secondly, the creation of a sustained financing. The principal conclusion is that, while there is a broad consensus about the structural improvement of long-term care insurance, opinions differ widely in the matter of its sustained financing. As a consequence, a coherent financing concept has yet to emerge.
长期护理保险推出十二年后，重新被提上议程并有待进行政治改革。本文阐述了为何长期护理保险需要改革。文中探讨了改革项目所关注的两个核心方面：其一，护理及长期护理保险的结构改善；其二，建立可持续的融资机制。主要结论是，虽然对于长期护理保险的结构改善已达成广泛共识，但在其可持续融资问题上，各方意见分歧很大。因此，尚未形成一个连贯的融资概念。
