Andrea Schmidt and Ricardo Rodrigues have authored an op-ed in the Austrian newspaper Der Standard in which they contribute to the ongoing discussion on models of financing of long-term care in Austria. What could be the consequences of replacing the current Austrian tax-based system with a long-term care insurance? What the experience of Germany can teach us? Do we need an insurance to the replace current model of financing long-term care in Austria? These are some of the questions for which arguments are provided.
