The Washington Post looks at the tricky question of who will need long-term care insurance. Here is an excerpt:
So how great is the need for such coverage? It depends on how you look at the data. “One in two Americans are likely to need long-term-care services sometime in their lives,” says Amy Pahl, a consulting actuary for Milliman Inc, a leading actuarial and consulting company. However, Pahl adds, of those who might need long-term care, about a third will not meet the most common deductible period of 90 days because they will either die or recover before then.
To determine if a long-term-care policy makes sense for you, it is important to understand how the coverage works and what’s available.
