Health Reform: Long Term Care Insurance
Long Term Care Health Insurance
One thing that really surprises me, with all of the talk and debate about heath reform, is that there has been little discussion about new long term care insurance plans. Planning for nursing care should be considered by anybody who is doing retirement planning these days, and I think that a lot of people do not consider it because they just do not know how much it costs or figure some government plan already exists to take care of that concern.

Should We Worry About Long Term Care Insurance?
Since the aging population of the US is growing, more people are concerned about long term care insurance. 
Though rates vary by age, health, location, etc., the cost of private long term care insurance can range from an average about $900 a year at 50 to almost $6,000 a year for a 75 year old. However, nursing home rates are also rising. Some reports peg the average anual cost of a nursing home at about $50,000 a year. So you can see how a long term stay in a nursing facility could, indeed, deplete a family’s resources rather quickly.
