It is a big topic. There is a lot debate and opinion about what exactly is it, what does it do, and who needs it.

Some basics:
· Insurance in general; is “transference of risk” (financial risk) to make you “whole again” (indemnify). A small payment to protect against a large loss.
· Premiums. The money you pay for your insurance product.
· Death Benefit. What the sum of the payout is (example: “$200,000 policy”)
· Term Insurance. Pure insurance lasting for ‘x’ amount of years.
· Whole/Universal etc. Life. Insurance with a “savings plan” to age 100.
· Owning an insurance policy creates an “estate”.

Bottom line, but seriously folks!

Obviously you ‘ain’t gonna’ get your own death benefit! To be selfish – would you hope to collect someone elses? Okay, so you grow up and smell the coffee. Your family (unless already financially independent) will need to pay for your funeral – at least, and you may be of a generous heart, and wish them all well, grant them your love eternal, and give them a nice chunk of money to make sure they will be okay after you’re gone. How much will do that? $10,000? $100,000? A million? You would be surprised that with-out a plan, even a million dollars can go POOF! in just a few months after the death of the breadwinner. What is stopping them from going to Vegas? Now try a policy with a plan – something like $4,000 a month until you would’ve been 65, – now would that be better? Yes, they have this now!

Very few people these days ever consider buying insurance for future events. While it’s difficult to convince people to purchase life insurance to take care of their loved ones after their death, convincing people to purchase a long-term care policy is even more difficult. But if you point out the benefits that they can receive with a long-term care (LTC) insurance policy, it may not be as difficult to convince them of this important need as you may think.

Benefit #1: Personal Savings is No Longer Enough
There was a time when your personal life savings may have been enough to pay for your long-term care, or at least for awhile. But with the cost of health care increasing at two times the rate of inflation, your retirement savings is no longer enough to pay for your care if you ever become unable to take care of yourself. Just living in an assisted living facility for a year can cost at least $30,000. That’s more than a year’s salary for many people! Living in a nursing home costs even more than that.

Here are some of the more common questions you can expect to be asked about this insurance product along with some great answers to those questions.

Should I consider purchasing a long-term care insurance policy?

An insurance contract between the insurance company and the insured is one of trust. The moment of truth in this relationship appears when there is a claim by the insured (in the case of a non life policy) or by the dependents (in the case of a life insurance claim). Till that moment comes, everything is hunky dory- premiums are being paid regularly by the clients, and the company is only too happy receiving them. However, the moment a claim appears, an insurance company proceeds to evaluate the claim closely, as every claim paid out is an expense for the company, hurting profitability. Thus, there is a basic conflict here: the insured wants the maximum claim to be paid, while the insurer would like to reduce the claims outflow to the extent possible.

From a customer’s point of view, it is very important to study the claims settlement history of a life insurance or a general assurance company before deciding to purchase an insurance policy from that company. During the sales process, the sales representatives will be all sugar and honey so that the prospective customer signs up. But the fact of the matter is that if the insurer you are considering has a bad history of claims settlement, there is a high probability that you will face a claim rejection or reduction when the time comes for you to file a claim.

Insurance is one of the best ways to protect yourself against the unexpected. Whether it be travel insurance, car insurance, home and contents, health insurance or something else, these policies can be taken out to help support you when there is a problem. For example, if you have a car accident and your vehicle is wrecked, your insurance will pay (after the excess) to cover the damage. By having thousands of people like yourself purchasing insurance, they can let you “split the costs” for the people who do run into trouble.

The majority of people who take out insurance never need it, but the money invested is a small price to pay for the peace of mind, knowing you will be protected should a problem arise. But for each type of insurance, there are a range of different covers, and certain clauses that you need to be made aware of.
