Yipes! I’m out of the country and have been somewhat lax about monitoring that health bill! The LTC information is certainly going to be an issue. I tried pricing that for my parents years ago and it was so expensive for anything that would actually be useful. I’m worried that this is just a silly loop that’s going to make the company that provides this insurance for the government some cash–at the taxpayers’ expense. $50 a day is, indeed, nothing!

Neal, don’t be so cynical. $50 a day can buy me 49 McDonald’s double-doubles every single day for life!!! That’s sweat suga!

Best, Sam

Joel,

I hadn’t considered the similarities to SSI but of course you right. Nice insight man.

Aaron,

Maybe they’ll make the program so difficult to qualify for that it will actually fund itself.

Of course, that would require some thinking on the part of the government…..

It's starting to sound like this is comparable to the Social Security disability benefits? People are automatically enrolled and think that they are covered if they become disabled. Let's hope the LTC program doesn't make it as difficult to collect as the ssi program. If people are waiting a year or two and having to apply 4 or 5 times, I'm pretty sure it really won't help too many people. .-= Evolution Of Wealth´s last blog ..Life Insurance’s Recent Overhaul =-.
