I read the article and got hotter and hotter as I read. A typical LAT report filled with half truths and flawed beyond belief. If you or I put out this much mis-information we would be looking for different work. Maybe that is a good idea for Mr. Hiltzig. Ken Good for you Barry.

That I would have to pay for 5 years before I can even file a claim is a joke; however, as I try to see all of these types of things - a great opportunity. I have been asked more about ltci recently due to this bill, and I see it as a great opportunity to be able to provide real, true long term care coverage to clients. I anticipate that as more and more folks see the reality of this CLASS(less) act, we will be seeing many more clients; when an insurance policy would pay, with one premium payment, this act looks more ridiculous. Thanks for the forum Barry and we'll see you at the April 14th webinar. Take care. Nancy I am a democrat, and very dismayed by this pathetic attempt at long term coverage by the government.

They obviously evade and misuse the public trust given them in their dissemination of biased reporting via their vehicle in the form of supposedly trusted newspaper publications. Some years ago I attempted to answer misinformation that was published as it related to variable universal life insurance and its uses as a retirement vehicle supplement when properly implemented. My solid information was never published because it would have made the "noted economic maven journalist" look bad. Interestingly enough had it been published and the information widely utilized many "investors" adversely effected in recent years due to the economic downturn of late would have been in a much more secure position then they are today... Can you say journalistic malpractice? I am wondering when our “newspaper journalists” will ever be held to account for spreading false information to the public.
