Summary: 
Long-term services and supports (LTSS) for the elderly and younger populations with disabilities are a significant component of national health care spending. In 2008, spending for these services was almost $191.1 billion (almost 10 percent of all U.S. personal health care spending), most of it paid by the federal-state Medicaid program. This publication presents data on LTSS spending by major public and private sources.
