Second question: How would you shift long term care services and funding so people can stay in homes as long as possible?

Murphy: A critical issue that he's dealt with personally with his 94-year-old grandmother who fell and broke a hip.

Must be aggressive in this issue. It can be cheaper to care for people in their homes, part done by volunteer world others by gov't services. Would push for more of this.

Tedisco: Same funding streams that go into health facilities should go into the homes because patients feel better physically and psychologically when in their own home; tax credits for family members that opt to stay and home and care for a loved one. Sponsored the Long Term Health Paternship Program in NY that allowed a 20 percent tax credit. Combine federal income tax reductions with the state tax incentive and make it really affordable.
