“Long-Term Care Insurance Depends on Genworth-Oceanwide Transaction”

“Long-Term Care Insurance Depends on Genworth-Oceanwide Transaction,” by Jesse Slome, Observer “Genworth has been clear: Without the Oceanwide transaction, the company would likely cease writing new LTC policies and potentially fully exit the LTC marketplace, which may cause other market participants in an already shrinking industry to follow suit, ultimately resulting in the elimination of the private LTC market. These potential consequences would place further stress on an already overburdened Medicaid program and on individuals and families across the U.S., with the middle class feeling the greatest impact.” LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):

But federal regulators are standing in the way. “China Oceanwide would rely on Genworth’s expertise to build its own insurance portfolio in China. If the Chinese company is allowed to acquire Genworth, it has pledged to inject $1.1 billion into the insurer’s balance sheet.

“Views How to position critical illness in the sales process,” by Aaron Anthony, Employee Benefit Adviser “The vast majority of employee benefit professionals have long seen voluntary worksite benefits as a singularly purposed solution designed to defray the first-dollar expenses associated with core medical deductibles, co-pays, experimental treatment and non-medical everyday living expenses associated with illnesses and injuries. The problem is this is only part of the story. An adjustment to your approach may allow you to have far greater impact with your clients and have a dramatic impact on your firm’s revenue.” LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, President,

“How to Get Medicaid for Nursing Home Care Without Going Broke”

“How to Get Medicaid for Nursing Home Care Without Going Broke,” by Jane Wollman Rusoff, ThinkAdvisor “Well-off people can easily go broke paying for sky-high nursing home care: First they deplete their own funds and then, eventually needing Medicaid, spend down nearly all the rest of their assets to qualify for that government program designed for low-income individuals.” LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform): This is a lie, not just ignorance, because the author, a Medicaid planner, knows better. Going broke for LTC before qualifying for Medicaid is the exception, not the rule. Read
