When James joined a major telephone company, he was only 32 and in great shape, climbing mountains and swimming 60 laps a day. His company covered him with a long term care policy, a benefit he thought he would never need until much older.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/08-0428-LTCOEP_72dpi.jpg\" align=\"left\" hspace=\"20\" alt=\"LTCOEP\" \/>Less than a year later, a hard-to-detect autoimmune disease surfaced, and he quickly became incapacitated. His LTC insurance benefits kicked in, providing care he could not otherwise have afforded.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;I&#8217;ll be eternally grateful to my employer,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Without that policy I would not be alive today. It saved my finances and my family&#8217;s finances as well as my life.&#8221; Now a resident of Flatbush, New York, he&#8217;s doing fine. &#8220;I can afford the best doctors and the best hospitals,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<p> He&#8217;s not able to climb mountains anymore, but his care has enabled him to scale new professional heights. He&#8217;s just started a web service called Care.TV, &#8220;your one stop destination for news and views relating to the healthcare industry.&#8221; It&#8217;s found at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.care.tv\" target=\"_new\">www.care.tv<\/a>. Two full-time bloggers now work for him, and he&#8217;s on a mission, as he puts it, to help others cope with all kinds of health issues.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Long term care insurance is an under-appreciated asset to any company,&#8221; says Dan Cahn, Senior Vice President of Business Development for LTC Financial Partners, LLC (known as LTCFP). &#8220;It&#8217;s a benefit that can attract the best new hires and earn the passionate loyalty of all employees. James Barclay is proof of that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Think of it,&#8221; Cahn continues. &#8220;Barclay was in his early 30&#8217;s when his problem hit. LTC insurance isn&#8217;t just for your 50 and 60-somethings.&#8221; He points out that nearly 40% of those needing long term care are working-age Americans &#8212; people 18 through 64.<\/p>\n<p> Cahn&#8217;s LTCFP recommends Care.TV to anyone seeking information about healthcare and the insurance that supports it. One of LTCFP&#8217;s senior Partners, Barbara Hanson, has agreed to provide editorial content to Care.TV. Cahn&#8217;s organization also offers a no-cost educational program to companies, non-profits, and community groups. It&#8217;s called the Long Term Care Outreach and Education Program(TM) (LTCOEP(TM)). <\/p>\n<p> Information is available at &#8211; <br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ltcfp.us\/ltcfp\/long-term-healthcare-planning.html\" target=\"_new\">ltcfp.us\/ltcfp\/long-term-healthcare-planning.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>News issued by: LTC Financial Partners<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/08-0428-LTCOEP_72dpi.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"LTC Financial Partners\"\/><\/p>\n<p><small>Original Image: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/08-0428-LTCOEP_72dpi.jpg\" class=\"autohyperlink\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/08-0428-LTCOEP_72dpi.jpg<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<p> # # # <\/p>\n<p><small>Original Story ID:  (3908) :: 2008-04-0428-005<\/small><\/p>\n<p><small>Original Keywords: LTC Financial Partners, LTCOEP, Dan Cahn, employer long term care policy, Long Term Care Outreach and Education Program, web service called Care.TV, James Barclay LTC Financial Partners   <\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KIRKLAND, Wash., April 28 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; James Barclay is living evidence of how vital long term care insurance can be for all employees, not just senior ones.
