"Failing to consider long-term care needs is the #1 mistake investors are making with their retirement savings." -- "Cracks in the Nest Egg," Wall Street Journal 10/22/01

That's a strong statement, isn't it? But it's true! Long-term care can have the single most dramatic impact on a family's finances for sure, but it's the stress on the family that can be even more damaging. Think about how many friends and relatives have or are receiving long-term care now. Planning for long-term care insurance is the smart way to take care of our families - cash when it's needed without invading estate or retirement assets.

And, the association has a new program available to all members and their families with premium discounts up to 53%! Best of all, if you or a family member needs long-term care even in the home, this policy pays in CASH, in ADVANCE! This new program is now available to association members from MedAmerica Insurance Company, the same company selected to provide long-term care insurance for the employees of the states of Tennessee, North Carolina, Indiana, Kansas and New York.
