State Regulation of the Supply of Long Term Care Providers

State Regulation of the Supply of Long Term Care Providers After the removal of the federal reguirements for certificate of need (CON) in 1986, the majorityof states (40) and the District of Columbia retained their CON and/or added a moratorium onnew nursing facilities and beds. Some states were also regulating the growth of other types oflong term care (LTC) facilities and home health agencies. States with a CON and/or moratoriawere more likely to have a greater non- White population, to have liberal politicians, and to havea lower capacity to raise taxes. When state financial budgets are limited, policymakers are likelyto continue to regulate the supply of LTC providers. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Applied Gerontology SAGE

Abstract

After the removal of the federal reguirements for certificate of need (CON) in 1986, the majorityof states (40) and the District of Columbia retained their CON and/or added a moratorium onnew nursing facilities and beds. Some states were also regulating the growth of other types oflong term care (LTC) facilities and home health agencies. States with a CON and/or moratoriawere more likely to have a greater non- White population, to have liberal politicians, and to havea lower capacity to raise taxes. When state financial budgets are limited, policymakers are likelyto continue to regulate the supply of LTC providers.
