Any idea what Long Term Care Insurance is?

Most people assume that if they ever need help when they get older, someone will be there

to help. I sure know that I always assumed that Medicaid would chip in to help pay for

my parents should they ever need assistance when they were older. The fact is, many

people need LTC insurance. Clark Howard even suggests Long Term Care

Insurance
. The sobering fact is that as of now, many of us won't be able to really

afford long term care (LTC) for ourselves in order to leave any kind of an estate, so

this is a huge myth that needs to be addressed..



There are tons of complications like long term care premium discounts that only a professional can help

with. The truth is, we do highly recommend you go ahead and read the sites we have

linked in this article. In short, Longterm Care Insurance cannot and as

you could guess will not prevent you or your family from ever needing long term care

services - of course, but it can certainly help you protect yourself and more importantly

your family from the potentially huge financial burden or depleting your assets.
