PART II. THE HOME- AND COMMUNITY-BASED
LONG-TERM CARE ACT
§1249.1. Legislative findings; purpose
A. The Legislature of Louisiana hereby finds that Medicaid currently spends in excess of seven hundred eighteen million dollars annually on a variety of home- and community-based programs to address the long-term care needs of our citizens who are elderly or have severely disabling conditions. These expenditures constitute in excess of sixteen percent of all Medicaid costs for health care services delivered by private providers.
B. Expenditures for Medicaid home- and community-based long-term care supports and services accounts for fifteen percent of the total growth of Medicaid spending in the past five years.
C. Despite the substantial financial commitment that the legislature has made to provide home- and community-based long-term care services, many Louisiana residents are still required to wait for years to receive the services they need.
