2  An estimated 10 million Americans currently need Long Term Care: That number is expected to double by  The probability that an employee will one day face a nursing home stay is greater than: ● the probability of disability ● the probability of premature death while employed 3 The need for LTC is extensive in millions Americans needing long term care 1 Georgetown University, Long-Term Care Financing Project, "National Spending for Long-term Care Fact Sheet,” January “Long-Term Care Financing: Are Americans Prepared?” Testimony by Senator Gordon H. Smith, 2006 committee chairman, before the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging, March 9, Milliman, “True Group Long-Term Care Insight Long-Term Care and Employer Contributions,” March 2006.

3 The cost is enormous Savings from current income may be near zero or negative when outlays are financed by borrowing (including borrowing financed through credit cards or home equity loans), by selling investments or other assets, or by using savings from previous periods. 5 Daily rates for Private Nursing Home Care Daily rates for Assisted Living Hourly rates for Home Care National Avg: $183National Avg: $176National Avg: $26 Michigan: $218Michigan: $100Michigan: $17 Samples of cost of care 4 : 4 Unum Cost of Long Term Care Survey, September U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis News Release, “Personal Income and Outlays,” August  National Nursing Home annual average= $66,795  National Assisted Living Facility annual average= $64,240  National Home Care annual average (4 hrs/day)= $37,960
