The Elder Care Firm can help you manage the cost of long-term-care.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
There is a growing gap in health-care coverage that is putting a number of Michiganders at a loss. Rob and Katherine Deane believed they were doing the responsible thing when they purchased insurance policies to provide care in their later years. But last year the experienced rate increases on both of their long-term-care policies, insurance plans that pay for nursing homes or in-home care.<\/p>\n
Manulife Financial Corp<\/a>.\u2019s John Hancock unit informed Mrs. Deane that the premium on her 10-year-old policy would increase 77% to $6,406 a year. Mr. Deane\u2019s insurer, Unum Group, raised his premium by 25%.<\/p>\n
