    We may not realize it when we are healthy, but at some point in our lives, we will need long-term care. 
    Long-term care insurance can help you in such a case.

    According to data from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC™),]
    * 70% of U.S. residents who have reached age 65 feel that they will need some type of long-term care at least once in their lives. feel that they will need some type of long-term care at least once in their lives.
    * Of U.S. residents who have reached age 65, 35% feel that they will be in a nursing home at least once in their lives
    .
    * A person at age 65 has an average of 19 . 4 years ( remaining life expectancy for women 20 . 6 years and 18 years for men ) The longer a person lives, the greater the need for
    nursing care, including chronic illness.

    ( Note 1 ) Hawaii's cost of care is higher than other states. 
    ( Note 2 ) Japan's long-term care insurance system is administered by the government, but in the U.S., individuals must purchase their own insurance.
    ( Note 3 ) Medicare enrollees are covered for up to 100 days if coverage is approved, but the first 20 days are 100% covered,
    after that it is CO-PAY. Benefit Policy ( Long-term care insurance with a greater need than life insurance )
    3 . Stand - Alone Policy ( People who do not need life insurance but need long-term care insurance )

    【 Two types of
    1 . Reimbursement ( Reimbursement ) : The insurance company generally pays
    claims directly to nursing homes for expenses deemed necessary for care.
    2 2 2 . Cash Indemnity ( Cash ・ Indemnity ) : 100% of the amount of the long-term care insurance policy is received by the person in cash from the insurance company and can be used for
    long-term care expenses or other purposes

    Long-term care insurance was introduced in the 1980s as the cost of long-term care rose, and Nationwide research shows that 74%
    of people in their 50s would like to live at home as long as possible in the future, but this is not always the case, depending on the person's wishes. However, there are those who cannot meet their wishes and those who have difficulty
    providing care at home.
    In addition, there are those for whom long-term care insurance is not suitable. The average age for joining long-term care insurance is currently 59 years old.

    Five Types of Life Insurance in the U.S.

    I know that life insurance can be confusing for some of you.
    "I hear rumors that the US has a better insurance program than Japan !"
    In this page, we will explain the five types of life insurance in the US as follows.
    In case you are wondering, not good or bad, it is said that only 1. Term Insurance&2. Whole Life Insurance is offered in Japan out of the following 5 types of insurance. \I am a Hawaii State Life&Health Insurance License holder, so please understand that I will not compare the Japanese License with the Japanese one.

    The 5 Types of Life Insurance in the U.S. are
    1. Term, 2. Whole Life Insurance, 3. Universal Life Insurance, 4. Whole Life Insurance, 3. Universal Life Insurance, 4. Variable Universal Life Insurance, 5. Index Universal Life Insurance.

    1. Term Insurance : As you know, this is a life insurance for a certain period of time. The monthly premium is low, but it is only a death benefit and does not accumulate. And once the policy is over, if you want to re-subscribe, the premiums will go up dramatically as you get older, depending on your age.

    2. Whole Life Insurance : This is an accumulation type life insurance policy for life. The annual interest rate is about 4% (depending on the economic situation) on the premiums you have accumulated. \The monthly premium is a fixed amount. The monthly premium is a fixed amount. Usually, this type of insurance has the highest premium.

    3. Universal Life Insurance : This is an accumulation type life insurance for life. It pays an annual interest rate of about 5-7% on the amount accumulated. \The monthly premium is fixed and varies depending on your financial situation. \The monthly premium is not fixed, but you can choose a minimum to maximum premium amount depending on your personal financial situation.

    4. Variable Universal Life Insurance : This is a life savings type life insurance policy. The accumulated amount is transferred to another account and put into a so-called Mutual Fund. Therefore, it is an investment type insurance, and the amount of savings may go up or down depending on the market's performance. The monthly deposit is not a fixed amount, but can be paid flexibly between minimum and maximum.

    5. Index Universal Life Insurance : This is a life insurance policy with a life time savings plan. The interest rate varies according to the Market Index (e.g. S&P 500), but ranges from about 1% to 12.5% per annum.

    * * Some Hawaii residents who do not have U.S. citizenship or permanent residence may be eligible for Hawaii state insurance. Some people may be eligible to purchase a U.S. annuity or long-term care insurance while living in Hawaii.

    Reference Example of Accumulation-Type Life Insurance (with Long-Term Care Insurance Clause)

    We received a request from a reader to show a specific example of an accumulation-type life insurance ( with a long-term care insurance rider ), so we provide the following as an example for your reference.

    ( Please note that there are individual differences depending on the age, health condition, amount of accumulation, insurance conditions, and product contents at the time of starting accumulation, so please refer to the example as a reference only. )

    [ Example of Accumulating Life Insurance ( with Long-term Care Insurance Clause ) ]
    Insured Female ・ Starting Age 50
    Premium ( Monthly ) $ 250
    Death Insurance Amount 152,000
    Annual interest rate on premiums (compounded: Non-Guaranteed) 3.5 % ~ 7.10%
    With long-term care insurance rider

    * For the first 10 years, the surrender value is lower than the premium. Death benefit is available from the first year.
    * The lump sum and surrender value will catch up after 15 to 17 years. After that time, the benefit at surrender will be greater than the sum of the additional lump sum.
    * The death benefit will increase from the age of 81 in this case.
    * The long-term care insurance rider allows 2% of the death benefit ($ 152,000 for $ 3,040 for 152,000) to be withdrawn from the death benefit each month until the death benefit is exhausted.
    ( The obligation to pay the monthly premium stops while you receive the long-term care insurance benefit. The money you receive is tax-free.

    * For your reference, we have attached a picture of the additional monthly premiums.
    * Please feel free to contact us if you would like to see an example of an accumulation type life insurance policy (with a long-term care insurance rider) for your own case.
