Deaths Due to No Health Insurance

ryan — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 00:18:46 +0000

Families USA just released a study providing state-by-state estimates of deaths due to lack of health insurance coverage. These estimates are provided based on statistics from the Urban Institute and the Institute of Medicine. A quick look did not explain how they determine that a death would have been prevented by having adequate health insurance, but the statistic that serves as the foundation of the estimates is 22,000 deaths in the USA in 2006 due to lack of health insurance. State-by-State estimates can be viewed here. The estimate for QuoteCorral’s home state of Ohio was two deaths per day.

Senator John Thune Talks Long Term Care Insurance

ryan — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 15:23:18 +0000

The high cost of healthcare, including long-term care, is consistently one of the most important concerns I hear about from individuals, families and businesses. In South Dakota, the average annual cost of a one-year nursing home stay is over $50,000 and growing ($70,000 nationally).

As we begin to tackle the larger issue of healthcare reform, we must also address the looming challenge of an aging population — which will create an even greater demand for affordable long-term care services. In rural areas such as South Dakota, this presents an even greater challenge. The soaring cost of long-term care also continues to put a considerable strain on our federal healthcare programs, Medicare and Medicaid.

But there is a solution: long-term care insurance. I am working on legislation to encourage the use of long-term care insurance by allowing individuals to purchase qualified plans with pre-tax dollars, penalty-free from their 401(k) plans, IRAs and other tax-advantaged retirement accounts. Through the purchase of long-term care insurance, individuals will be empowered to plan for their future and their long-term care needs.

The ability to purchase long-term care insurance with 401(k), IRA, and other tax-advantaged funds would be a great benefit to American citizens. As the Senator stated, long-term care can be a huge expense that can unfortunately become unmanageable without proper long-term care insurance.
