A "huge" (as the #realdonaldtrump might say) issue America faces today and in the decades to come is the problem of Long Term Health Care and other aging and health related issues. While "ObamaCare' gets much attention, both good and not so good, one area that has to be addressed is the problem of Long Term Care.

For many people, Long Term Care Insurance has become part of retirement planning. However, too many people don't think about the issue, think the government or their health insurance pays for this care (it doesn't) or think it won't happen to them (chances are it will).
While many people can and SHOULD pay for affordable Long Term Care Insurance and make it part of their retirement plan, some people will have to depend of Medicaid. The issue is ... if too many people, who have assets, end up not making Long Term Care Insurance part of their retirement plan, then they will be subject to asset spend down and stress and already stressed government public aid health program.
The bottom-line is ... we need to ask the questions to those running for office BUT it is up to US to make Long Term Care Insurance part of your retirement plan. It's good for you and your family, good for protecting your hard earned savings so you can use them for better things than care and it is good for your state and federal government so less people will stress an already stressed federal and state budget.
