Clark Howard advises to buy long term care insurance from a highly rated company

Clark Howard Long Term Care Insurance TipsClark Howard is an Atlanta, Georgia-based nationally syndicated radio and TV consumer advocate (as well as a dead-ringer for me such that everyone mistook me for Clark when I moved to Atlanta in 1994). 

Clark Howard advises his listeners on how to save money, spend less and avoid getting ripped off. 

For many years, Clark Howard has long been a proponent of buying long term care insurance, especially for those individuals in their 50's and 60's.

Long term care insurance pays for the care that you might receive as you grow older, either in your home, assisted living facilities or in a nursing home.

Many people mistakenly believe that their health insurance or Medicare will pay for their long term care services. However, they will not.

And Medicaid will require you to become indigent before it will pitch in.

The solution, says Clark Howard, is to buy long term care insurance.  But don't just shop price, says Clark Howard.  Buy long term care insurance from a solid company, one that has an A++ or A+ rating from AM Best.
