  Subject: [LTC-Sales_Discussions] LTC Deductibility


  We are seeing a number of businesses converting from C to S Corp =
status to avoid hassles with reasonable comp issues.  One problem this =
is creating is the loss of a deduction for employer paid LTCi plans for =
physician clients with greater than 2% ownership and, even more =
disturbing, for a large number of physician prospects.

  We have heard there may be a solution by using either a 419 structure, =
MSA's or by establishing a bona fide C Corp management company.  Do any =
of you have experience with this dilemma and/or a solution?  If so I =
would enjoy hearing from you.  Thank you for your contributions in =
advance.
