Hi
 
I bought Kanawha prior to joining my current organization and at the time it
looked better to me than what I was comparing with.
Yes-the name and size of company are of concern, although the contract is
solid. I am of the opinion that the volatility of this product can lead to
almost anything in terms of a company being sold, rates being increased or a
withdrawal from the industry. There are small niche players in different
areas that survive. I am not nieve to think there will not be an increase in
premium.
Because of the age difference, it is hard to justify doing Lincoln Benefit
now-but this could be a mistake if Kanawah has a huge increase. By the way,
they are far from liberal in underwriting. I would sell Kanawha with a
caveat due to the size and A- rating-not bad, but pale in comparisons to
LBL/GE etc.
 
As to NTQ-read the NAIC Shoppers Guide to LTC-it clearly states that TQ
claims are more restrictive etc. My feeling is an agent is doing a
disservice if he does not show the client this and let client go and make a
choice. To go in and just show TQ because that is what is sold 90% of the
time is in my opinion a mistake. Yes the jury is out on eventual taxability
of benefits, but some carriers allow exchanges. My guess is that these
benefits will never be taxable. 
 
The issue is whether the taxability issue is more important than the claims
issue as a result of a good NTQ policy having a medical necessity trigger,
even if this accounts only for 1-2% of claim triggers. Would you want to be
in a situation where a client is denied benefits that he might have received
under a NTQ?
. Would be some unhappy relatives of that person.
 
There is no right or wrong, but to go in there and not show both can be
fatal. Let the client decide! Also NTQ is more expensive which of course
accentuates the message.

R-  apparently you are of the opinion that non-TQ is the quality buy for the
money?  You are with Kanawha which I represent but have not sold a policy.
I have difficulty with potential clients getting by the name. Apparently you
do not.  What about Penn Treaty?  Honest injun!!!!!  Thanx, Jack

Just a thought-you might all want to be aware of the Comdex ratings which is
a weighted average of the major rating agencies including the infamous
Weiss.
 
Lincoln Benefit is not a small player and is the strongest based on ratings
as seen below. Their product is parallel to State and Mass Mutual and
designed by the same actuary The Lincoln Benefit product is fully reinsured
and I believe they are proceed so competitively because their administrative
costs are lower and they do no pay the highest comp. I work with planners
from 6 broker dealers and we are objective when we talk about LTC and we
have about 10 companies available and Lincoln Benefit gets 65-70 % of new
business.
 
Here are Comdex ratings with 100 the tops:
 
Lincoln Benefit   95
Life Investors     94
Hancock           93
GE                   93
Physicians       89
ALLIANZ          84
Mutual of Omaha   83
State               82
Pru                  80
Kanawha         71
UNUM             68
 
We offer all of the above except State and UNUM.
 
Just remember the litany of who have left the business:  AIG, Travelers,
Fortis, CNA, American General, West Coast
It is still a crap shoot out there, no matter what. I own a Kanawha policy I
bought 6 years ago with no increase. If I was doing i t today, I would do
Lincoln Benefit-will only buy NTQ.

Hello All!
 
We all agree that it is great that a few of our clients have the forethought
to purchase LTCi at younger ages, however most people are still not
listening to us. A new strategy is coming from Hancock to help us attract
those younger clients. It is the GPO (Guaranteed Purchase Option) with a
conversion option at age 65 to compound inflation. This was introduced
during the Federal program with a lot of success. We want to get those
younger prospects insured before they have insurability problems or if they
go on claim before age 65.
 
Most agents who are selling to younger clients are selling a lower benefit
with compound inflation, which is not sufficient if the client goes on claim
before 65. This new option of giving them a higher benefit with optional
inflation conversion later in life may be a way for us to break through some
of the barriers that we have with the younger market, when we are fighting
for dollars that are going towards retirement or college savings for
children.
 
1) What are your thoughts on using this GPO with the age 65 conversion
option?
 
2) We see a lot of Kanawha, State Life, Lincoln Benefit, and Life Investors
being sold which sounds like some prospects are just spread sheeting for the
lowest price. Shouldn't we be looking for the top carriers that have paid
out more in claims than some of these companies are worth?
 
3) We know CNA was a top carrier and look what has happened to them!
 
Sometimes we are our own worst enemy! Younger clients trust us to give them
the best carriers if they are going to buy this stuff before age 50. I have
seen several well known companies leave the LTCi market in the last 10
years, but there are still some agents selling LTCi based solely on the
lowest premium. If we want to go after the younger ages, shouldn't we be
using the companies with long standing history in LTCi and deeper pockets?
These younger folks may not go on claim for another 30 or 40 years.
 
I am looking forward to YOUR thoughts. Shoot me an email or give me a call
to discuss.

I third it!  I also own lifetime benefits, compounding inflation and have
since I was 37!  People who purchase this product at younger ages have
usually experienced some family members needing LTC.  When you've had 2
grandfathers pass on Alzheimer's, a grandmother who gave everything to
Medicaid while spending 7 years in a NH (live to 98) and helped another
family member as a caregiver, you don't hesitate to get your own plan in
place ASAP.  Not to mention the fact that:
¨ One-third of stroke victims each year are under age 65

¨ 41% of heart attacks occur to Americans under age 65

¨ Average age for diagnosis of Parkinson's disease = 52

¨ Average age of diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) = 42

¨ Average age of diagnosis of ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) = 48

 

Or that 40% of people using LTC are between 18 & 64.

I AM SORRY BUT I CAN'T STAND THIS ANYMORE. 
HOW DO I PUT THIS, EVERYONE ON THIS BOARD NEEDS TO GO VISIT  THEIR NEAREST
MEDICAID FACILITY AND SPEND ALL DAY THERE AND DEVELOP SOME HEART, ESPECIALLY
MR. CUSCOVITCH, WHO OBVIOUSLY IS A DANGER TO THIS PROFESSION OR ELSE HE
DRINKS TOO MUCH BEFORE HE READS HIS EMAIL. I PERSONALLY BOUGHT LIFETIME
COVERAGE CP INFLATION, 0 ELIM, PLUS SURVIVORSHIP, WHEN I WAS 45, AND I HAVE
NO ASSETS, NO SAVINGS, JUST A WIFE AND 3 BEAUTIFUL GROWN CHILDREN AND A
BOSTON TERRIER WHO I JUST HAPPEN TO LOVE MORE THAN ALL THE SO CALLED
"LIFESTYLE OPTIONS" AND MATERIAL THINGS THAT I COULD WASTE MY MONEY ON,
BECAUSE I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE THAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME OR MY WIFE,
LTCI WOULD BE A MATTER OF "WHO'S GOT THE BETTER LIFESTYLE NOW". MY QUESTION
IS, MR CUSCOVITCH, WHO REALLY NEEDS TO SEE A SHRINK?
WHO NEEDS TO BUY LTC?
WHO AND WHAT DO YOU LOVE?
 
P.S. I APOLOGIGE AGAIN DOUG, I SAID I WAS GOING TO BE A GOOD BOY, BUT
SOMETIMES WHEN YOU ARE GOOD , PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND.

Who should not own LTCi?
 
Here are the 3 answers thus far:

A)  From Art:  Everyone should have at least a three year LTC plan if the
premiums would not affect their life style.  People who would have to alter
their life style or give something up to pay for a three year LTC plan
should not buy LTC. 
 
B)  From Bob:  My personal belief is anyone under 50 that can afford it. And
anyone over 50 that has more than $50,000 in assets that can afford it.
 
C)  From Doug:  
1. If the prospect does not have Major Medical Health Insurance.
2. If the prospect is not saving for retirement - i.e. contributing to a
IRA/401k
3. If the prospect has children in college and can't afford the premiums
now without corrupting their retirement saving and/or college education
4. If the prospect can't afford to pay the premiums without sacificing
other important expenses (rent, etc).

 
Those are all interesting answers.  
 
I appreciate the responses.  I'd really like to hear from Mr. Cuscovitch,
because he's obviously not a big fan of LTCi.... and he seemed to imply that
there are some very specific reasons for not owning ltci.  I'd love to hear
those reasons from him.
 
I like Doug's answer the best.  I think that in order to build people's
trust we need to be able to give them some objective reasons for not owning
LTCi.  
 
Regarding being over age 50 and having at least $50K in savings, if I'm
retired and my wife and I have $100K, she can keep most of that if I go on
Medicaid...   
 
Whether we like it or not, Medicaid is our #1 competition, so we've got to
understand it ourselves and we've got to help others understand it.  
 
Does anyone else have any other 'objective' reasons someone SHOULD NOT buy
LTCi?

An easier one than that is -

Everyone should have at least a three year LTC plan if the premiums would
not affect their life style.

People who would have to alter their life style or give something up to pay
for a three year LTC plan should not buy LTC.

      size=2>We all agree that it is great that&nbsp;a few&nbsp;of our clients 
      have the forethought to purchase LTCi at younger ages, however most people 
      are still not listening to us. A new strategy is coming from Hancock to 
      help us attract those younger clients. It is the GPO (Guaranteed Purchase 
      Option) <U>with a conversion option at age 65 to compound inflation</U>. 
      This was introduced during the Federal program with a lot of 
      success.&nbsp;We want to get those younger prospects insured 
      before&nbsp;they have insurability problems or if they go on claim before 
      age 65.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

      size=2>Most agents who are selling to younger clients are selling a lower 
      benefit with compound inflation, which is not sufficient if the client 
      goes on claim before 65. This new option&nbsp;of giving them a higher 
      benefit with optional inflation conversion later in life&nbsp;may be a way 
      for us to break through some of the barriers that we have with the younger 
      market, when we are fighting for dollars that are going towards retirement 
      or college savings for children.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

      Life Investors&nbsp;being sold&nbsp;which sounds like&nbsp;some 
      prospects&nbsp;are just spread sheeting&nbsp;for the lowest price. 
      Shouldn't&nbsp;we be looking for the top carriers that have paid out more

      size=2>Sometimes we are our own&nbsp;worst enemy! Younger clients trust us 
      to give them the best carriers if they are going to buy this stuff before 
      age 50. I have seen several well known companies leave the LTCi market in 
      the last 10 years, but there are still some agents selling LTCi&nbsp;based 
      solely&nbsp;on&nbsp;the lowest premium. If we want to go after the younger 
      ages, shouldn't we be using the companies with long standing history in 
      LTCi and deeper pockets? These younger folks may not go on claim for 
      another 30 or 40 years.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

              <DIV><FONT face="@Arial Unicode MS" size=4></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
              <DIV><FONT face="@Arial Unicode MS" size=4>Here are the 3 answers 
              thus far:</FONT></DIV>
              <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><BR>A)&nbsp; From Art:&nbsp; Everyone 
              should have at least a three year LTC plan if the premiums would 
              not affect their life style.&nbsp; People who would have to alter 
              their life style or give something up to pay for a three year LTC 
              plan should not buy LTC. </FONT></DIV>
              <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
              <DIV>
              <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>B)&nbsp; From Bob:&nbsp; My personal 
              belief is anyone under 50 that can afford it. And anyone over 50 
              that has more than $50,000 in assets that can afford 
              it.</FONT></DIV></DIV>
              <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
              <DIV>C)&nbsp; From Doug:&nbsp; </DIV>
              <DIV>1. If the prospect does not have Major Medical Health 
              Insurance.<BR>2. If the prospect is not saving for retirement - 
              i.e. contributing to a<BR>IRA/401k<BR>3. If the prospect has 
              children in college and can't afford the premiums<BR>now without 
              corrupting their retirement saving and/or college education<BR>4. 
              If the prospect can't afford to pay the premiums without 
              sacificing<BR>other important expenses (rent, etc).<BR></DIV>
              <DIV><FONT face="@Arial Unicode MS" size=4></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
              <DIV><FONT face="@Arial Unicode MS" size=4>Those are all 
              interesting answers.&nbsp; </FONT></DIV>
              <DIV><FONT face="@Arial Unicode MS" size=4></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
              <DIV><FONT face="@Arial Unicode MS" size=4>I appreciate the 
              responses.&nbsp; I'd really like to hear from Mr. Cuscovitch, 
              because he's obviously not a big fan of LTCi.... and he seemed to 
              imply that there are some very specific reasons for not owning 
              ltci.&nbsp; I'd love to hear those reasons from him.</FONT></DIV>
              <DIV><FONT face="@Arial Unicode MS" size=4></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
              <DIV><FONT face="@Arial Unicode MS" size=4>I like Doug's answer 
              the best.&nbsp; I think that in order to build people's trust we 
              need to be able to give them some objective reasons for not owning 
              LTCi.&nbsp; </FONT></DIV>
              <DIV><FONT face="@Arial Unicode MS" size=4></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
              <DIV><FONT face="@Arial Unicode MS" size=4>Regarding being over 
              age 50 and having at least $50K in savings, if I'm retired and my 
              wife and I have $100K, she can keep most of that if I go on 
              Medicaid...&nbsp;&nbsp; </FONT></DIV>
              <DIV><FONT face="@Arial Unicode MS" size=4></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
              <DIV><FONT face="@Arial Unicode MS" size=4>Whether we like it or 
              not, Medicaid is our #1 competition, so we've got to understand it 
              ourselves and we've got to help others understand it.&nbsp; 
              </FONT></DIV>
              <DIV><FONT face="@Arial Unicode MS" size=4></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
              <DIV><FONT face="@Arial Unicode MS" size=4>Does anyone else have 
              any other 'objective' reasons someone SHOULD NOT buy 
              LTCi?</FONT></DIV>
