Long Term Care: Current Scene

• Total paid costs for LTC exceeded $250 billion in 2009

• Longer life expectancy

• 78 million baby boomers entering retirement

Page 21: By Paul E. Forte Chief Executive Officer Long Term Care Partners, LLC Long Term Care Discussion Group Washington, D.C. April 26, 2012 1

Long Term Care: Future Directions

• Investment environment likely to remain challenging, volatile

• Self-insurance through savings, annuities, reverse mortgages

• Private LTCI most reliable form of protection

• More public-private partnerships likely

• Efforts to curb Medicaid costs

• Renewed attention to Medicare

• FLTCIP, other large-scale employer-based programs,

preferred LTCI delivery models
