THe rising of health care costs and how to be prepared with annuities

TAMPA, Fla. - Dec. 9, 2014 - PRLog -- Utilize annuity contractual guarantees to cover  day-to-day health-care costs

Here’s an example of a fixed indexed annuity with a confinement care rider attached to the policy as an added benefit:
A male age 65 places $100,000 in this type of annuity with a long-term care/lifetime income rider (attached benefit) that contractually grows at 7.2% annually during the deferral years, and that amount can be used for income/long term care.

He defers for ten years, and then turns on the lifetime income stream. The initial $100,000 has contractually grown to $200,000, and at age 75 produces a lifetime income stream of $13,000 per year.

This payment is based on the age you start taking income and your life expectancy. In this case, that actuarial payout was 6.5% of $200,000…or $13,000 per year for life.

The long-term care/confinement care benefit attached would double the income stream for life. So instead of receiving $13,000 per year, you would receive $26,000 per year.

Another good feature of this product is that it is “guaranteed issue” and doesn’t require any medical tests or doctor visits.
