We think national standards are not the only solution. They need to be backed by supports embedded in law and money and investment. However, they will provide, I think, a clear minimum set of standards across this country. They help to obviate some of the concerns we have around public versus private long-term care, which is a bigger debate. At least if we could get the care standards up to an equitable level, some of those concerns could be obviated.
