Usa Today Reports Many People’s Experiences With Long Term Care Lacking
June 27, 2007Unfortunately, many people’s experience with long term care insurance have been far from wonderful. Hilda Puth, a Southern California homemaker, took out a long-term care policy on herself in 2001 because her husband, George, had been disabled by a stroke. She wanted to be sure that if she, too, became disabled, someone would be bale to take care of her in her home.
When Pith needed knee-replacement surgery, her policy was supposed to pay $100 a day for home heat\lth services. But her insurer denied the claim.
