Long Term Care Insurance - Do you Need it?

Do Americans Need Long Term Care Insurance?

Americans should consider Long Term Care Insurance because Medicare will only pay for short stays in nursing homes. As Americans live longer, the odds that older people will spend time in a nursing home are escalating. Nursing homes cost $1000's of dollars a month, and that stay can wipe your assets out quickly. Then seniors are forced to rely on Medicaid and charity, they may lose everything they wanted to leave to their spouse and children, and are limited on their choices of nursing homes, or other long term care options.
