What does the bill do?
The bill adds new chapters to the National Health Insurance Law defining eligibility for placement in nursing homes and hospitalization in nursing facilities for highly dependent people in need, and setting community long-term care services for eligible people in various dependency categories. Eligibility is conditional on income tests and on the level of dependency determined by assessments of the National Insurance Institute. The nursing homes will be the responsibility of the health maintenance organizations, and part of the costs will be borne by the insured according to their income, up to a monthly ceiling set in the law.
