So, it would be a bit unfair to compare $VaR_\alpha$ estimated in 80s with what is going on right now. $VaR_\alpha$ assumes that the distribution of returns is normal. Not most beautiful assumption but the most straightforward to compute $VaR_\alpha$.
How often is it covered? Long-term care is a range of services and support for your personal care needs. Most long-term care isn't medical care, but rather help with basic personal tasks of everyday life, sometimes called activities of daily living. Medicare doesnât cover long-term care (also called custodial care), if that's the only care you need. Most nursing home care is custodial care.
Long term care is a âvarietyâ of services that help people with health or personal needs and activities of daily living over a period of time. Long-term care can be provided at home, in the community, or in various types of facilities, including nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
