SPECIAL INVESTIGATION: Nearly 100,000 people in Connecticut have long-term care insurance. In recent years, the annual cost of maintaining these plans has skyrocketed. And the options for struggling plan holders are bleak. ctmirror.org/2025/01/26/ct-…

Special @ctmirror investigation: Connecticut has one of the largest shares of older adults in the country and a sizeable insurance presence. Yet, an industry at the intersection of elder care and insurance is in turmoil 🧵 ctmirror.org/2025/01/26/ct-…

For more than a year, my colleagues and I read through hundreds of complaints, analyzed years of rate increase data, pored through studies & talked to consumers to learn about the teetering long-term care insurance sector.

Fewer people are able to afford long-term care insurance as the cost of annual premiums soars and the price of new plans is out of reach for many. In CT, rate increases often exceed 50% and for a few dozen people, they’re as high as 174%.
