Years from now many Baby Boomers will need help with the daily stuff of life, like dressing, bathing, eating or remembering to take medication. Regular health insurance, including Medicare, doesn’t pay for with these "custodial care" tasks, except in limited circumstances. Long-term care insurance does. Here’ s how to keep price affordable.
【R1】______
"The key to long-term care insurance is to apply early while it’s inexpensive," says Kevin Lynch, assistant professor of insurance at the American College of Financial Services in Bryn Mawr, Pa. Among 65-year-old applicants, 28% will be denied because of their health, Lynch says.
The ideal age to start shopping? "I think 50 is the magic number," says Deb Newman, president of Newman Long Term Care, an independent insurance agency in Richfield, Minnesota.
【R2】______
Prices vary by insurer for the same amount of coverage. Work with an agent who can sell—not just quote—policies from different carriers. A good agent will know which companies will likely accept you for coverage based on your health and give you the lowest price.
Get price comparisons even if you’re offered the opportunity to buy long-term care insurance through a group, such as your employer. If you ’re healthy, you might find a better deal on your own.
【R3】______
Decide what you’re comfortable spending for coverage, and ask the insurance agent for quotes that fit your budget, advises Brian Gordon, president of Maga Ltd., an independent long-term care insurance agency. Gordon discourages people from buying a policy if they’ll struggle to pay the premium.
Work with a financial adviser to review other options if you can’t qualify or pay for long-term care insurance. Medicaid, the federal and state insurance program for people with low incomes, will pay for nursing home care, but to qualify, you have to spend down most of your money first.
【R4】______
Newman encourages clients to buy enough coverage to pay for home health care for a few years. The average annual cost of a full-time home health aide is $46,332, compared with $82,125 for a semi-private nursing home room, according to the Genworth 2016 Cost of Care Survey.
Most long-term care insurance policies reimburse you for care at home or in assisted living or a nursing home. So if you buy enough to pay for home health care but instead go to a nursing home, the policy will pay at least some of the nursing home costs.
Look at costs of care in your area to estimate how much coverage to buy, Lynch advises.
【R5】______
Ask for quotes for good, better and best coverage from each company to see costs at different levels, Slome says.
Avoid adding features, called riders, that you don’t need. "Keep it a good, simple, long-term care policy without all the bells and whistles," Gordon says.
An example is a "restoration of benefits" rider: If you need long-term care but then get better, the benefits you used are restored for a later date. But Gordon says once people start to need long-term care, they usually continue to need it.
【R3】
选项
答案
E
解析
本部分首句是重点句,作者引用布莱恩-戈登的话来表达观点,即Decide what you’re comfortable spending for coverage,其意为“决定你舒适的支出范围”,结合接下来的内容and ask the insurance agent for quotes that fit your budget(而且要求保险公司的报价符合你的预算)可知,该部分是在表达计划预算的必要性,因此本题答案选E。
