KIRKLAND, Wash., July 18, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — When the Supreme Court upheld The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”), uncertainty about health insurance abated. But what about long-term care insurance, which covers in-home, nursing-home, and assisted-living care – expensive services scarcely addressed by regular insurance or Medicare? That issue remains as head-scratching as ever, according to LTC Financial Partners, LLC (LTCFP), one of America’s most experienced long-term care insurance agencies.

So, what to do? “The best bet — for any individual, family, company, or group – is to talk with an LTCI specialist about their particular situation,” says Denise Gott, LTCFP’s National Sales Manager. She recommends asking five key questions:

1. “Based on our health history, what are the chances any of us will ever need long-term care?”

2. “In our financial situation, is Medicaid a viable care option?”

3. “What are the pros and cons of relying on savings, life insurance, or reverse mortgages to pay for care?”

4. “In our case, following the court’s decision, how do federal and state laws affect tax breaks or other LTC-related benefits?”

5. “Given all the facts about us, is LTC insurance the best bet, and what does it cost?”
