"I’m 55, married and want a $1.5 million long-term care policy."

In this episode, Scott A. Olson breaks down a recent MarketWatch article to clear up common misconceptions about long-term care insurance. He highlights how the author completely overlooked the power of a shared benefit rider, which allows a married couple to secure a larger pool of coverage far more affordably than buying separate policies. Scott also tackles the "use it or lose it" myth, addresses historic premium anxieties, and exposes the hidden risks buried inside alternative universal life products with chronic illness riders.MarketWatch Article: "I’m 55, married, and want a $1.5 million long-term care policy.
