Why long-term care insurance falls short for so many
Briefly

"For 35 years, Angela Jemmott and her five brothers paid premiums on a long-term care insurance policy for their 91-year-old mother. But the policy does not cover home health aides whose assistance allows her to stay in her Sacramento, California, bungalow, near the friends and neighbors she loves. Her family pays $4,000 a month for that. We want her to stay in her house, Jemmott said. That's what's probably keeping her alive, because she's in her element, not in a strange place."
"It's a giant bait-and-switch, said Laura Lunceford, 69, of Sandy, Utah, whose annual premium with her husband leaped to more than $5,700 in 2019 from less than $3,800. Her stomach knots up a couple".
