7.Health bills nudge US on long-term care insurance
CHICAGO – Most people don’t buy long-term care insurance. They simply don’t want to think about moving into an assisted living center or hiring a stranger to bathe them.
Seven years ago,Puma Future Cat, Robert Myers of suburban Chicago did buy long-term care insurance. Myers’ wife,Timberland 6 inch boots, who died in December 2008, needed care as she fought cancer.
“It was a godsend,” Myers, 64, an Episcopal priest, says of the insurance. “It didn’t cover everything,nba basketball shoes, but it broke the back of the bills.”
Unlike Myers, most people may want to plan for the future, but they need a nudge to overcome their avoidance and laziness. At least that’s the assumption behind a program tucked into the health care overhaul legislation emerging from Congress.
