Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why A is correct
Under Florida law, the Long-Term Care Partnership Program pairs qualified private LTC insurance with a Medicaid asset disregard, encouraging residents to buy private coverage that delays or reduces Medicaid dependence. The Department of Financial Services promotes the program to consumers, and insurers participate by offering policies that meet the program's qualification standards; the state does not itself insure residents or displace Medicaid.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) The program does not hand out free care; it is built around privately purchased, partnership-qualified insurance.
- C) Medicaid remains a central payer for those who qualify; the partnership program complements it rather than replacing it.
- D) The DFS regulates and educates; it does not sell long-term care policies to consumers.
Memory hook
Partnership = private insurance plus Medicaid asset protection.
