A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO THE COMPLICATED ISSUE OF LONG-TERM CARE INSURANCE
"Next to buying the right long-term care insurance, buying and reading J.K. Lasser’s Choosing the Right Long-Term Care Insurance is the best investment seniors and their families can make to help insure independence and dignity in their golden years."
–Scott Harshbarger, President and CEO, Common Cause
"An indispensable book for all those concerned that the cost of health care will rob their old age of dignity and independence. The author, Ben Lipson, an articulate advocate of patient rights and an authority on health insurance, provides a lucid road map in a terrain mined with hokum."
–Bernard Lown, MD, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize
"Long-term care insurance is a much-needed and valuable insurance concept, marketed in a maze filled with smoke and mirrors. Most of what passes for consumer guidance is just general information and superficial advice. But Ben Lipson’s book takes you by the hand, leads you through the insurance labyrinth, and shines a much-needed light on the product."
–Charlie Sabatino, President, National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Lasser covers the issues of buying LTC -
This is a very thorough review of the details of understanding and buying Long Term Care insurance. You will understand what you are buying.
But this book does not make any case for not buying LTC and how to analyze that situation. It is strictly why to buy it and what to buy and how to understand what you may be buying. But SHOULD YOU. That is not covered, they just assume you are a buyer and help you in that mode. And for that mode it is one of the best. Take a look at the Idiot's Guide to LTC, some additional angles worth understandig if you like to read two books on every subject.

I found the book to be very readable and informative. It took the mystery out of long term care insurance, by explaining in detail who would benefit from it and process of applying for the insurance. I also liked the book because it was written from the conumer's perspective. It can serve as an invaluable resource for all health care workers.
There has to be a better reference -
While Lipson's book identifies many important factors in idntifying the benefit options of long term care insurance policies, he does little to compare companies. He brings up key questions like comparison of claim rates, lapse ratios, and loss ratios, but does not provide the answers or identify where to get this information. He talks about misleading risk statistics but does not identify the actual statistics. While I have a better understanding of benefit options, I would be unable to "Choose the Right Long Term Care Insurance" without researching this subject further.
J. K. Lasser's Choosing the Right Long-Term Care Insurance -
People over 50 and their adult children should read this book. It answers the important questions about long-term care insurance and it helps people plan for their future. Among the many surprises: 40 percent of people don't need long-term car insurance. Using the back of the book as a key, you can pretty well determine if you or your parents will or won't need it.
The book is easy to understand, many of the brief examples are sad but true, and there's also some humor.
I think this book can help many people stay independent, remaining at home rather than going into nursing homes.

My parents are getting to the age where long term care is an issue. I bought this book to help break the ice on our conversations and I am so glad I did. I now know about the different options available to us, but perhaps more importantly, what to expect from the insurance companies during the application process. That is invaluable. My parents loved the overriding goal of the book which is how to keep your dignity and independence. If you're considering long term care insurance, get this book first.
