  • Wow! Informative and enjoyable

    Diane does a great job of bringing to light a topic no one really wants to talk about. Her guests have tied in the topics in a way that makes it easy to understand how we need to be our own advocates for long term care.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Questions that must be asked if you're told to self fund LTC needs
Q: How do taxes interact with self-funding LTC vs. using insurance?
Self-funding can push you into higher tax brackets and complicate Medicare premiums; LTC insurance can provide tax-advantaged access to funds and reduce taxable income while offering more predictable planning.
Questions that must be asked if you're told to self fund LTC needs
Q: What questions should I ask before deciding to self-fund my care?
Ask how much of your portfolio should be allocated to fund future care, whether there's a more cost-efficient way to generate the funds, and how inflation and longer-than-expected care durations could impact total costs.
Questions that must be asked if you're told to self fund LTC needs
Q: What does long-term care insurance pay for?
It provides a guaranteed benefit to cover extended care costs, protecting a larger amount of money you would otherwise have to pay out of pocket, and it helps ensure you don't deplete retirement assets just to cover LTC expenses.
When Health Interrupts Our Plans
Q: What about the coronavirus? Does the insurance cover that?
Travel insurance coverage in epidemics is nuanced; some policies exclude epidemics or epidemics-related cancellations, while supplemental options may allow future cruise credits or tours credits. The guest explained that travelers should consult a travel advisor to understand which protections apply to their specific trip and timing.
Guest Interview: Jason Dutra with BuddyIns shares how employers can attract and retain employees
Q: Can employers discriminate in offering LTC plans, and how does funding work across tiers?
Yes, employers can discriminate by designating different tiers for executives, mid-level staff, and general staff; funding can be split with the employer paying for higher tiers and offering voluntary buy-up for others, enabling flexible and targeted incentives.
