This document discusses the difference between positive and normative statements. It provides examples of each:
- Positive statements make claims that can be tested as true or false, like "the moon is made of green cheese."
- Normative statements express value judgments or opinions that cannot be tested, like "the state pension should be cut in half because pensioners are parasites."
The document emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between objective, fact-based positive statements and subjective normative statements when reading articles about current issues and policy decisions. Positive statements report facts while normative statements aim to persuade with value judgments.

Chapter 8
Older People and Long-Term
Care: Issues of Access
3
Why the New Interest in Long-term Care?
• The Baby Boomers are adding to the growth in
the population over 65.
• There is increasing fear of dependency on
long-term care.
• Adult children of the elderly having to find
care for their parents.
• Healthcare reform promises great changes
that are not well understood.
4
The Growing Population Needing Care
• The need for ADL and IADL assistance
continues to grow.
• Table 8-1 presents the broad range of services
needed by the disabled.
• Most of the population needing long-term
care do not live in nursing homes.
• Many factors contribute to the inability to
predict the exact number needing services in
the future.
5
The Growing Population Needing Care
• Future populations may be better educated
which is associated with lower levels of
disability.
• Ethnic composition suggests a greater need
for care and government support.
• Boomers will bring greater numbers of people
needing services.
• The number those over 75 will greatly
increase.
6
The Growing Population Needing Care
• Disability rate will increase among those who
are not in nursing homes.
• The most common disability is physical.
• In addition, the nursing home population is
expected have profound increases until it
triples by 2030.
• The number of younger persons with disability
has also increased.
7
Issues of Access
• The current system is far from ideal.
• There is not an adequate supply particularly
for the poor.
• The system itself continues to be so
fragmented that many are not aware of what
is offered.
• Financing is an underlying problem.
8
The Costs of Care
• Expenses for this care are sizable and will
increase in the future.
• Private insurance only pays for a small
percentage of the care.
• Medicaid pays for over 85% of nursing home
care.
9
The Costs of Care
• Annual costs of nursing home care can
average $58,000 per year and may exceed
$100,000. For many, the costs of this care is
just not affordable.
• With the addition of the Baby Boomers, costs
will most certainly increase in the future.
• The effects of reform are not currently known.
10
The Care-Giving Role of Families
• About 74% of dependent community-based
elders receive care from family members.
• The majority of caregivers are women.
• The number and willingness of family
caregivers may decline as the Boomers
become in need for assistance.
11
The Role of Private Insurance
• Private insurance for long-term care is a
relatively new product.
• Improvements in coverage are being made,
but only an estimated 20% of the population
will use it.
• CCRCs and LCAHs hold promise for the future.
12
The Role of Medicaid
• Medicaid is changing under PPACA to include
more eligible adults who will receive
benchmark coverage.
• Medicaid is .

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

4. What is the difference?
• 'lf the state pension is cut
in half, 100,000
pensioners will die of
hypothermia in a cold
winter.‘
• 'The state pension should
be cut in half because
pensioners are parasites
on society.'
5. Positive Statements
• A positive statement
is a statement that
can be tested
against evidence to
see whether it is
true or false. 'The
moon is made of
green cheese' is a
positive statement
even though we
know it is
completely false.
6. Normative Statements
• A normative
statement is a
value judgement
or personal
opinion with
which others may
disagree. A
normative
statement cannot
be tested to see if
it is true or false.
7. Why do you need to know this?
• Whenever you are reading articles on current
affairs it is important to be able to distinguish
between objective and subjective statements.
• Often, the person writing an article has a
particular argument to make and will include
subjective statements about what ought to be
or what should be happening.
• Their articles carry value judgements; they are
trying to persuade you of the particular merits
or demerits of a policy decision. These articles
may be wholly or partially lacking in objectivity.
8. Have a go at these!
1. Cut-price alcohol has increased the demand
for alcohol among teenagers
2. The government is right to introduce a ban on
smoking in public places.
3. The retirement age should be raised to 70 to
combat the effects of our ageing population.
4. Chellaston Academy should take less students.
5. Pollution is the most serious economic
problem
6. If the government raises the tax on beer, this
will lead to a fall in profits of the brewers
7. Children who live in Melbourne should go to
school at Sinfin.
10. Over to you!
• Write down 2 normative
statements about immigration
• Thinks about ‘ought to’ and
‘should’
• Now read the article and identify
positive statements
