reforms suggest they are unlikely to meet any of their objectives:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>People&#8217;s care costs will not be capped;<\/li>\n<li>A market in pre-funded care insurance is unlikely to emerge;<\/li>\n<li>Rather than providing peace of mind to the population, annual increases in the &#8216;cap&#8217; may stoke worry and concern.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With less than three years until the reforms are due to be implemented, this report examines in detail the issues facing the &#8216;capped cost&#8217; model&#8217; and identifies the options for policymakers to fix these problems.<\/p>\n<p>The report concludes by assembling a range of options into an alternative package of measures that could be implemented in April 2016: the &#8216;capped cost plus&#8217;
