Prof. Hugh Lee presented an invited lecture to the North Carolina Bar Association’s 27th Annual Elder and Special Needs Law Symposium in Greensboro, NC on Thursday, February 23rd, 2023 entitled “The State of the Union: A Discussion of U.S. Public Policy on Aging.” The talk addressed six different areas of public policy which are failing to meet the needs of elders – health care access, long-term care access and financing, affordable housing, retirement income, protective services, and overall economic policy. The talk also addressed projected population patterns and how those patterns impact the viability of current public policy initiatives.
