Follow on Google News | Why did 100,000 People Purchase Long-Term Care Insurance in 2015?By: www.LTCShop.com The growth was fueled by over 100,000 individuals who purchased long-term care insurance in 2015. The total number of long-term care policyholders has now risen to about 7.3 million Americans. "But, why?" asked Scott Olson, co-founder of LTCShop.com. "Why did 100,000 people purchase long-term care insurance in 2015?" Insurance companies and financial advisors all have their theories about why people buy long-term care insurance. What do consumers say? "We figured the best way to find out was directly from consumers themselves,” "Caring for an ailing elderly parent can be a very challenging situation mired with guilt, weariness and financial strain for those who are trying to help. I do not want to put that all on my family," shared one consumer. "The best reason I have heard for buying LTC insurance is so that your kids don't have to agonize over whether or not to get you the care you need, which might otherwise cost them their inheritance. Who would want to put that trip on his or her kids," explained another owner of long-term care insurance. "If I need care, I don't want my wife to scrimp (by trying to care for me herself). There should be no reservations about using the insurance coverage, as opposed to spending down assets," shared one husband. "We spent hundreds of hours culling through thousands of public posts and conversations on public forums. There were so many insightful posts to sort through it was very difficult to choose the best. We compiled some of the best responses on a single page on our website and it has received more hits faster than any other page we've ever published. There's been so much interest in this we'll probably publish a few more pages sharing even more insights from these consumers," Olson concluded.
