“How COVID-19 Has Changed Americans’ Views on Health Insurance,” by Michael Popke, ThinkAdvisor

 

Quote:

“COVID-19 has made Americans more anxious about dying, becoming disabled or needing long-term care, according to the results of a recent survey conducted on behalf of the Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT), a global trade association of life insurance and financial services professionals. The survey provides insight from more than 1,050 U.S. residents about how the pandemic has impacted their attitudes toward life, health, long-term disability, and long-term care insurance.”

 

 

LTC Comment, Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform:

All I can say is “it’s about time.” But don’t expect this new found awareness of personal risk to last as long as the government continues to convey the message that it will provide everything people want and need from child care to catastrophic LTC.
