Are there any regular LTC policies (not hybrids) that don't have any rate increases?
As in, it's actually put into the contract that the rates are fixed and will never go up?
Noncancellable plans seem to have disappeared from almost every health insurance line.Are there any regular LTC policies (not hybrids) that don't have any rate increases?

You might want to spend a little time to learn about the Rate Stability Regulations now in effect in 41 states.
long term care insurance rate increases
Yesterday, I received a notice that 2 policies I sold in Florida in January 2013 will now be increased by 98%! This 98% increase will be implemented on my clients over the next 3 years. So, Scott....your link above says that Florida enacted rate stability regulations in 2003? What happened? Did Florida forget?
That's appalling and just outright insulting to the policy holder.
What will your client's do? Simply pay the higher premiums? Or cancel and you'll help them get a "hybrid" policy to not have rate increases?
Who is the carrier? Were their policies bought by another company? Was the entire class given notice of a 98% increase? that sounds very high for a 5 year old policy unless there was a major change in the coverage.
