San Jose Seminar Will Help Agents Handle Rising Tide of Long Term Care Insurance Applications; Event Hosted by LTC Financial Partners

SAN JOSE, CA -- Long term care insurance used to be a hard sell. Now it can be an easier sell, if done right, thanks to two powerful forces: the graying of America, and insurance-friendly pressure from Washington and Sacramento. That's the thrust of a seminar for agents on July 14-16 in San Jose, CA. The Deficit Reduction Act, signed by President Bush on February 8, offers carrot-and-stick incentives for millions of Americans, including 77 million aging baby boomers, to buy long term care insurance instead of relying on Medicaid. And the states, including California, are weighing in with additional incentives. *(Photo Caption: LTC Financial CEO Cameron Truesdell.)
