This is from an ABC News TV story featuring my friend and colleague in South Carolina, Barbara Franklin.

This piece describes how differently the described family’s lives were due to the fact that mom and dad owned long-term care insurance.

Luke Daniels talks about his mother in glowing terms. And he also says he is fortunate they had long-term care insurance.

“I was fortunate because she made the decision,” said Daniels, referring to his mother’s decision to secure the insurance. “I can tell you what we didn’t have to do: Drain our own bank accounts (and) uproot our own lives from our families.”
