***Study Shows Most Can Afford LTC Insurance*** For Immediate Release Tuesday, September 1, 1999 Contacts: Stephen Moses, President (smoses@centerltc.com); David Rosenfeld, Vice Pres. (david@centerltc.com); Nadia Morgen, Research Coor. (nadia@centerltc.com) Seattle-- "Most Americans can afford private long-term care insurance and would buy it if well-intentioned government programs didn't anesthetize the public to this huge financial risk." With that statement, Stephen A. Moses, President of The Center for Long-Term Care Financing in Seattle, WA released a white paper today entitled The Myth of Unaffordability: How Most Americans Should, Could and Would Buy Private Long-Term Care Insurance. According to Moses, "this report explains why only 7% of seniors and virtually none of the critical baby-boomer generation have purchased private long-term care insurance. It shows that 70% to 80% of Americans could afford this coverage if they felt the need to buy it. The report explains how easy access to government-financed long-term care services has impeded the market for private insurance, assisted living and home care. Finally, 'The Myth of Unaffordability' offers a workable, cost-free, public policy solution--called LTC Choice--that would improve access to quality long-term care for rich and poor alike."
