The Best on LTC Coverage

This is the best book I’ve read to make an informed decision on ltc insurance. There are so many products out there and so many good and bad salesmen that this is a MUST READ book to have in your arsenal. It cuts to the chase and explains the need to know facts in making an informed decision. Its such important insurance and Scott explains that really anyone can afford it. I cared for my parents for 10 years and know that everybody needs to have ltc coverage. I’m so impressed with Scott’s advice that I have gifted this book to my financial planner, CPA and all our closest friends and family members.  Click HERE to read the review on Amazon!

Clear, no-nonsense information that will greatly improve your understanding of Long Term Care Insurance options

An excellent read for anyone wanting to cut through the clutter of Long Term Care Insurance policy offerings. I had a decent understanding of LTCi policies but now have a much stronger knowledge after reading this book. I am now aware of considerations in policy selection that were not intuitively obvious before. I will re-read this book and use it as a reference when my wife and I purchase policies in the not too distant future.

This book is not a sales pitch by the author but honestly seeks to inform of the pros and cons of the options in the market today. Of course if you chose to contact him for quotes along with other providers I expect he would be pleased to compete for your business. Cheers. Click HERE to read the review on Amazon!

Great book. Very informative.

Great book. It has a lot of information and facts about long term care insurance that I couldn’t find on the internet. The author seems very knowledgeable about the subject. The book gives clear and firm answers to questions other insurance agents normally would just say “it depends”, such as whether people should consider hybrid policies, etc. The book has one typo error and some paragraph has weird formatting though, but does not affect the quality of the content at all.  Click HERE to read the review on Amazon!
