planning process. All too often, though, that’s what hap- pens. “Though most people over 65 will need long-term care at some point in their life, they lack a realistic plan to pay for it,” explains Scott Perry, president of Bankers Life and Casualty Company, a national life and health insurer focused on the needs of the retirement market. The mistaken belief that Medicare will cover all the expenses is among the many reasons why people avoid thinking about long-term care insurance. Research shows that the cost is often misunderstood, too. According to the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance (AALTCI), consumers perceive the cost to be more than double what it actually is. Others are unaware that there are options that could allow them to choose a plan with lower premium rates. “Cost can be a major barrier to buying long-term care insurance,” explains Perry. “However, by modifying bene- fit levels and elimination periods, you can find a long-term care policy that works within your budget.”` According to the AALTCI, adding a deductible can Celebrities, like Atlanta Falcons’ Jason Snelling, are spreading the word that reduce the yearly cost by 20 percent.
