Health vs. Long term care

Winter - I disagree. You've taken the bait that somehow access to healthcare and having health insurance are related, beyond the ability to pay. My point is simple, health insurance pays your major health care bills. You can always pay for them out of pocket, i.e., spend your assets, rather than have health insurance.

Once your assets run out, than your statement applies.

In all honesty, we all talk to different style of clients. Most of mine (well, some of mine) have some reasonable assets that they want to protect, if nothing else, house equity and a 401K.

When I get a referral from an auto dealer for a client that has a 540 credit score and no assets to their name, I don't go into an asset protection pitch. Simply, you need insurance, if you don't pay it, the insurance the bank will put on the car will far exceed what you pay me kind of thing.

When I'm talking to a small business owner, who has had some success in life, it's all about asset protection.

That's ridiculous but a common theme some folks promote here: the idea that there is no difference in access and availability to health care until a persons assets have been spent because they could always liquidate and purchase health cdare. A person with insurance is more likely to get a colonoscopy that is covered by insurance than one who has to dip into their retirement or sell off assets. It is just a fact of life and a fact of how the health care system works. We can have a big theoretical, libertarian discussion about it but it comes out the same. Insurance coverage increases the quality and level of care. So yes, that is a bait that I have taken.

Hi all,

Dave, in context - when you look at his other posts, he's just kidding with you. Don't take the bait.
Dear Mr. Bill, could you differentiate between kidding & serious-kidding??

Dear others, do you guys believe that someone (who is an insurance reader) who has doubts can't get them clarified over here (simply becoz he is a senior member of another community????) ????

Is cross-community culture considered harmful over here?

Regards,
Jeff
 
Really, I think you're 1) not serious 2) couldn't possibly be insurance licensed and 3) pulling our leg on this forum. Can't speak to the other.
 
Hey Mr. Bill,

Well, if I'm pulling your legs, what do you think you're doing over here!
Checked the quality of your posts??
Or is it that, everythings fair in your case:skeptical:

It appears to me (and probably others) that your only purpose is to promote the other forum. That makes your posts simply spam.

If we're wrong, why not drop the link and actually try to add to this community? You have done nothing other than to initiate threads with fairly meaningless questions without giving any solutions or even opinions.

Do you think we can't see through this crap?
