New LTCi White Paper and Executive Summary Published!

September 16, 2015 by Honey Leveen Leave a Comment

NAHU Executive SummaryThe National Association of Health Underwriters (NAHU) is the leading professional trade association for health insurance agents, brokers and consultants, and represents more than 100,000 benefit specialists nationally. NAHU is highly regarded and trusted on “The Hill”.

I’m very proud to be involved with NAHU. In July, 2015, I stepped down as chair of NAHU’s LTC Advisory Committee. I continue to serve and be actively involved.

I’m even more proud to announce NAHU has now taken an official stance on long-term care reform with just published, publically available LTC White and Executive Summary papers.

These papers offer good common-sense ideas on how to preserve Medicaid for the truly needy, and how to encourage more Americans to prepare responsibly and properly for their long-term care. They will be included in NAHU’s political advocacy.

I worked on the completion of both papers, but I believe my colleagues Claude Thau, Sally Leimbach, John Parker, Joe Lesson and Linda Thalheimer were tireless and played more essential, critical roles. We also had excellent support from Dan Sampson on NAHU’s staff.

Former CBO Director Testifies, Gets It

May 8, 2012 by Honey Leave a Comment

“The availability of Medicaid presents a deterrent to some for the purchase of private long-term care insurance,” testified Douglas Holtz-Eakin, Ph.D., president of the American Action Forum, at a Senate Special Committee on Aging titled “The Future of Long-Term Care: Saving Money by Serving Seniors.” This was reported in an April 19, 2012 article in McKnight’s LTC News.

Mr. Holtz-Eakin is the former director of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), and he really “gets it” about long-term care financing. He also added that one way to do this would be for the government to provide incentives for long-term care insurance purchase.

Mr. Holtz-Eakin’s beliefs resonate with me and every other (Long-Term Care insurance) LTCi specialist I know. We feel that even though Medicaid provides inferior care (as I often document in this blog), it is relatively easy for almost everyone to access. Therefore,  people are poorly motivated to plan responsibly for their long-term care.

The National Association of Health Underwriters (NAHU), whose Long-Term Care Advisory Committee I serve on, wholeheartedly agrees with Mr. Holtz-Eakin.
