Long Term Care Insurance Information from America's Long-Term Care Insurance Experts

Chances are you'll live well into your 80s, your 90s and possibly even longer.

When you live a long life, the likelihood you'll need long-term health care is greatly increased. Younger people also need long term care as a result of accidents or illnesses.

Long-term health care is generally not covered by medical insurance, by Medicare supplement plans or group / employer insurance. For seniors on Medicare, the long-term care benefits are quite limited.

That is why over 10 million Americans have purchased long-term care insurance. The American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance was established in 1998 to educate individuals and to support insurance and financial professionals who market this protection.

Our Long-Term Care Insurance Consumer Information Center is the nation's most comprehensive resource. Find the most current information including long term care insurance costs, ways to save, tax deductibility rules and long term insurance companies and their ratings.

Our 2011 Long Term Care Insurance Price Index found that rates for virtually identical coverage could vary by as much as 90 percent. It pays to compare - the yearly savings can be substantial.
