Quotes from: “Long-Term Planning: How to Protect Against the High Cost of Nursing
Homes” “69% of today's 65-year-olds will eventually need long-term care” “37% of all 65-year-olds will need long-term care in a nursing home or assisted-living facility” “8% of all 65-year-olds will spend more than five years in a nursing facility -- and that will mean huge costs” “11% will rack up costs between $100,000 and $250,000 and an additional 5% will get hit with expenses of over $250,000” “A projected 11% of 65-year-old men and 28% of women will end up needing more than five years of care at home or in a facility”“What if you end up spending a decade or more in a nursing home? A three-year policy may merely postpone when you are impoverished. “ “Before you buy longevity insurance as a substitute for long-term-care insurance, make sure you have enough savings to pay for any long-term-care expenses during the intervening years.“Kemper, Komisar, and Alecxih
Its about the tail risk!

Effect of Long-Term Care Morbidity on Retirement Success
In this example, the product didn’t improve success, but you should not stop here. Demonstrations that show the value of a product that deals with tail risk can be developed so that a decision enabling approach that highlights your solution can be used.

Our value proposition:

Long-Term Care costs, and- Providing tools that can demonstrate the risk in a
personal manner and offer comprehensive solutions.
