Comment by WalterBright

3 years ago

My father had long term care insurance. He got Alzheimers, and went into a nursing home, and passed after 3 years. The insurance covered most of nursing home fees.

I did some math on the premiums he'd paid for the insurance, and the payout. It was a break even.

In other words, putting the premiums into an HSA would have financially worked out a lot better.
