[edit] Audience
This article is dedicated to the most beautiful cat in the world. There is no comparison between her long term care needs and those of an individual's; however, I am of the opinion that a person evaluating a long term care contract should have a clear idea of what he or she is looking for and should ask lots of questions. These contracts are ideal for people who are healthy today and unwilling to risk not having adequate long term care in the future. No offense taken. Paradigmbuff 01:30, Nov 14, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Risk
Dear Mr. Shadowe, The element of risk is the increased risk of need for long term care insurance, the product; not necessarily the increased needing for the contract. One may choose NOT to purchase one (if that need does not exist). Somewhat similar to an automobile insurance contract, the risk of need is 100% in my homestate of South Carolina when one buys a car. So, I'm not certain if your edits changed the meaning here. Paradigmbuff 19:49, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)

I fail to see that the external link to guidetolongtermcare.com is inappropriate since it is an informational website and not commerical as Finlay McWalter claims. 21:12, 9 October 2006 (UTC)Muspiel
- I'm not the person who removed the link, but I can see how it could be a matter of contraversy, since that site also provides quotes for (that is, sells) long-term care insurance. Vectro 18:31, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

I've been in the long term care industry for 10 years and my info keeps getting erased. What gives?? http://ltctree.com/Long-Term%20Care.htm —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lorela1942 (talk • contribs) 02:46, 16 February 2007.
- That site appears to primarily exist to sell long-term care insurance contracts. Recall that Wikipedia is not a collection of external links. Don't add links to wikipedia to promote your site; if it provides good information, others will add it for you. Vectro 18:31, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

This is a much-cited work in the LTCI industry and a foundational work in the LTCI discussions going on in DC. It does not promote products and is not a spam link. It should be re-instated. LifeWeb 5:30, 23 February 2007
- I agree, and will reinstate the link. Vectro 19:16, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
