Long term care can be expensive. According to the newly released survey by Genworth Financial Services for 2008 the average annual rate for a private nursing home room in San Jose , California is $89,973 – up 17% since 2004. The demand and cost for in-home care are also on the rise. And, we face an impending caregiver shortage that could drive costs even higher in the near future.

 

Most Americans are unprepared. Learn about expected costs and make sure long term care is part of your overall retirement plan.

 

 

 

 

Is Your Medical Plan Getting You Down?

Perhaps it is time for an analysis of your current Medical Plan. Is your plan currently meeting your needs? Does it still meet the goals of your company? Perhaps it is time to evaluate your benefit package so you can fully understand the “moving parts” of your medical plan, dental plan and vision plan.

Just why are medical plan costs going up anyway? There are many theories, but the most reliable theory is that the primary reasons for rising premiums in runaway prescription costs, overuse of medical plan features and provider unrest. You can’t eliminate rate increases. You can’t put a lid on prescription cost. And provider instability and contracting wars are inevitable. But, you do not need to fall victim to these problems.
