Disrupting the Marketplace: The State of Private Long-Term Care Insurance, 2018 Update
Long-term care insurance (LTCI) can play a role in financing long-term services and supports (LTSS) needs; however, the high cost and complexity of these products and concerns about rising premiums have affected consumer demand. The high out-of-pocket costs of LTSS are unaffordable for most people in every state and, despite what many people believe, Medicare and Medigap insurance do not cover LTSS. Without adequate savings to cover the cost of care, LTSS recipients may have to instead rely on other sources—such as Medicaid coverage or support from unpaid family caregivers—to provide care needs.

Of these 40 million family caregivers, about 1 in 4 is part of the Millennial generation.
