Different Types Of Health Insurance
Long TermStandard health insurance policies do not cover long-term care, and Medicare pays for only short-term stays at nursing facilities. Most insurance companies will not issue long-term care policies to people aged 75 and older. It is advised that you purchase long-term care insurance in your younger years, as the cost is less. As the years pass, the rates increase.
