According to U.S. News and World Report, only 100,000 traditional long-term care insurance policies were sold in 2015, compared to 700,000 in 2000. People aren't buying long term care insurance policies for many valid reasons, but the increasing cost is the most common. However, 9 million Americans over the age of 65 needed assistance in 2012.

In this podcast episode, we join Gary Pozsik of Health, Wealth and Happiness to examine the true need and cost of long term care insurance, as well what your alternative solutions are.
