The former prime minister says Conservative governments have failed to resolve the care-costs issue.
"If I had any advice for my successors now - and I try to keep my interventions to a minimum because their jobs are hard enough without ex-prime ministers giving a running commentary - I think looking again, if there isn't some sort of insurance intervention where we can help people protect against the catastrophic costs of selling their home to pay for care, I think that might be a good place to look.
The government said an extra £2.8bn would be available for adult social care next year and £4.7bn the following year.Councils had warned adult care services could deteriorate unless the rollout was postponed. Mr Cameron spoke to Newscast on the day health experts and charities welcomed a new drug treatment for Alzheimer's as a ground-breaking moment in the fight against the disease.Mr Cameron said: "I've been president of Alzheimer's Research UK for five years now and this, I think, is the happiest day that we've had."It will also just push forward a lot more research and a lot more enthusiasm.
Mr Cameron, whose mother, Mary, has Alzheimer's, said: "It's a very tough thing for families. You see someone with their memory just slowly being eaten away at by one of these diseases of the brain.
