Some people plan for a lifetime to fulfill their dreams. But even with such planning, many fail to fully protect their assets. Protect your nest egg. Life insurance can help protect assets when a person dies suddenly, but what will protect those assets if a person needs long-term care services due to a chronic illness or disability?

Long-term care insurance is already helping thousands of Americans pay for their long-term care needs. The average reduction in out of pocket expenses for nursing home care for disabled elders who have long-term care insurance is between $60,000 and $90,000 and can total $100,000 for assisted living costs. In the year 2000, the cumulative amount paid by insurance companies for long-term benefits reached an estimated $11 billion.

Today, about one in five Americans over the age of 65, and almost half of those age 85, need assistance with everyday activities. And if you believe that Medicare is covering the cost of these services, think again. read more myths here...
