I propose to go one step further and implement a multi-pillar, mandatory and voluntary long-term care financing system, which combines pay-as-you-go with capital-funded elements. The proposal is based on the observation that Switzerland has implemented a three-pillar system for financing retirement provisions that can be adapted to finance long-term care in a fair and sustainable way.</span> Long-term Care Social Security Insurance Switzerland https://www.ijhpm.com/article_3670_8b289a1e05898d7b3563e25175af52ca.pdf
