Well, this isn't the case anymore is it? Long term care isn't for everyone, but it's something we should probably all consider to some extent, especially as we live longer and longer. Don't count on medicare or medicaid, as the post suggests. LTCI is not cheap, but it can make a huge difference if you or a loved one ends up needing such care. Spend some time researching the web and shop around.

However, the majority of folk have no other choice due to fact that quality, afforable, senior care is way out of their reach.

I would strongly recommend reviewing your current plan each year as there are sometimes dramatic differences. If you think outside the box you will find some great health plans. The big companies such as Blue Cross will charge whatever they want because they assume people will just go with the name and they spend a ton of money on advertising which reflects in the premiums and benefits. If you look at some other companies you may be pleasantly surprised with the benefits you will find. There are new medicare plans for 2008.

While the healthcare system does need improvement if Americans take the time to research and find the right plan it can at least be manafeable. The Medicare system is getting better also. There are many more options these days for medicare insurance. I think it all depends on making wise decisions I believe the key to quality healthcare is in choosing the right plan.
