Long-Term Care Insurance
7/19/2016,
“5
things state lawmakers want to do about long-term care insurance,” by
Allison Bell, LifeHealthPRO
Quote:
“States now
spend about $100 billion per year, or about 6 percent of their $1.7
trillion in annual revenue, on Medicaid nursing home benefits and other
Medicaid long-term care benefits for the poor, and for residents who have
used ‘Medicaid planning’ to protect their assets. The share of state
revenue going to fund Medicaid long-term care benefits could rise sharply
starting around 2031, when the baby boomers begin to flow into the
85-and-older age category.”
