Consumers should check current prices with their insurance broker, as prices may have increased. You might be surprised to learn that most people who purchased long-term care insurance in 2021 were under the age of 55. About 1/3 were between ages 55 and 64. Just 11% had their policies issued at age 65 or older. The reason for the shift to younger age groups had to do with tax changes made in Washington state.
