Abstract

Vor dem Hintergrund stark steigender Pflegekosten rückt die Finanzierung und Orga-nisation der Langzeitpflege in den Fokus der politischen Debatte. Wir vergleichen fünf Finanzierungsvarianten für die Langzeitpflege anhand der vier Kriterien soziale Gerechtigkeit, Wirtschaftlichkeit, Nachhaltigkeit und den mit den Finanzierungsmodellen verbundenen Anreizwirkungen. In Summe empfehlen wir eine Ergänzung der bestehenden Pflegefinanzierung um zusätzliche Finanzierungsquellen. Beispielsweise könnte ein zusätzliches kapitalgedecktes System, welches Zeit benötigt, um sein Potential zu entfalten, durch temporäre, zweckgebundene Steuern unterstützt werden.
