In fact, based on the results of the new study, the researchers suggest that about 75 million adults in the United States may be misclassified as either having a lower or higher risk of heart disease or diabetes than suggested by their BMIs. The scientists looked at the BMIs of about 40,000 adults in the US.
According to a 2011 survey conducted by the American Association for Long Term Care Insurance, a typical comprehensive policy paying up to $150 per day for three years of care cost an average of $1,480 annually for a single person if purchased at age 55. However, premiums ranged from $1,325 to a high of $2,550.
The cost of a good long term care insurance policy today is not an inexpensive proposition. However, with the actual cost of long term care nationwide ranging between $4000 month to $15,000 month (ouch, New York, San Francisco) buying a long term care insurance policy is an important decision....o me, if these 3 above functions are met, you probably have a good policy, no matter the company name or logo on the policy. As I have explained to many of my clients, long term care insurance policies are somewhat cookie-cutter today.
