Hunter Brutont INTRODUCTION [I]n this world, nothing can be said to be certain except death and taxes.' Eldercare policy strives to postpone the for- mer without increasing the latter. As the elderly population in the United States grows, policymakers struggle to reduce elder- care costs while improving eldercare quality.2 Strengthening fa- milial and communal eldercare structures could accomplish both seemingly competing goals. However, the relationship between government action and strengthening these institutions remains complex and unclear. As our population ages, America is run- ning out of time to experiment. Untested, broad shifts in national or state eldercare policy carry grave consequences.3 t Duke University School of Law, J.D. 2016; University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 2012.
