If you want long term care insurance you’ll have to ask for it
February 23, 2008 11:12 am BusinessThe purpose of long term care insurance is to provide the funds that would be needed when you, or someone you love, need long term care. Examples include care for the elderly, and care for injury and illness that require extensive care such as cancer. There are several variations of long term care insurance, which can include coverage for nursing homes or in-home nursing care. Long term care insurance is usually separate from your normal health insurance, so an additional plan is essential for ensuring coverage in the event of a long term care situation.
