The South Dakota Legislature set up a summer committee to study the long-term care crisis and its possible solutions. The committee had its first meeting on Tuesday, May 23.
Sen. Jean Hunhoff is chair of the committee. She's worked extensively on this issue since 2006.
She joins In the Moment to discuss the outcomes of the state's previous attempts to address seniors' needs and what's new as legislators tackle the topic afresh.
