Every day, over 10 million frail seniors, younger people with disabilities, and their families struggle to find and pay for long-term care to stay independent and remain at home, and the need for care is expected to grow to over 15 million Americans by 2020.

Yet, the issue of long-term care has been completely absent from this year’s presidential campaign. No questions have been asked during the debates. The candidates have not posted any views or positions on their websites, and only two candidates have responded to a national survey on their views to address this growing national challenge.

To help raise this critical issue among the presidential candidates, 15 national aging and disability organizations, including the National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care, invited each candidate to answer five questions about their views on long-term care. The questionnaire was distributed in November to all major candidates for President, regardless of political party affiliation. 
So far, only two presidential candidates—Barack Obama and Newt Gingrich—have responded to the questionnaire. The five questions and responses received to date are available at http://www.theconsumervoice.org/results.

We recommend that you do not use the term 'Dear Friend' in your email since many email servers are configured to view content like that as spam. Use something other than that to ensure that your friends recieve your postcard.
