Don't Grow Old Without It
Kelly Greene of the Wall Street Journal acknowledges common concerns about purchasing Long-Term Care insurance (LTCi), but validates that LTCi is necessary. Greene says consumers must shop different carriers in order to find the best LTCi value:
Costs vary widely, even for coverage that is basically identical, according to a March study by the long-term-care insurance group. For example, a $150 daily benefit, lasting three years for a married couple aged 65 in "standard" health, ranges in price from $3,815 a year to $7,129.
That means you could pay nearly twice as much for the same benefits as someone insured by a different carrier.
Unfortunately for consumers, shopping around is difficult. Policies from different carriers are packaged with a proliferating number of bells and whistles. Life-insurance policies and annuities that include long-term-care benefits are introducing more options, but also making the selection process that much more involved.
