Susan Silk of the Martha Vineyard's Times has written an excellent article on Baby Boomers and Long Term Care Insurance . Read It Here (New Window)

For Most Baby Boomers, Long Term Care Insurance Is An Option .

Susan's article focuses mainly on individuals and their personal stories. The first thing that caught my attention was this sentence from that story:

"According to U.S government data, this year 9 million American men and women over the age of 65 will need long-term care."

It then goes on to tell how long-term care insurance may not be right for everybody, but it is very useful for most. What I really enjoyed was the real world examples of people that had ltc policies and were spared a lot of trouble by having them.
