Thanks for the link John...One thing the article does not make clear is how many people will qualify for long term care???? Many of the insurance companies are only taking people with NO, ZERO, NADA problems....and then only with high premiums....People with any type of long run health POTENTIAL problems are at risk, and can't get any insurance..... I believe that we will find that the Government employees have long term health coverage for next to no money premiums...Am I right? One thing I did notice on this link is the very high cost of the per day costs per patient...i.e. Seattle at $170+ a DAY, and Rhode Island, and even LA, and MUCH less per day...like $14.00+ per day... WHAT is going on with that? If the Government is going to pick up the tab for Medicare, shouldn't the tab be the same amount in every State?? If not, I'd like to hear some concrete reasons from anyone who cares to comment....
