Copyright 2006 Clay Cotton
Long term care insurance is an obvious "must-have' for Americans with assets and families to protect and with discretionary income to afford the premiums.
While Suze Orman publicly promotes this coverage as the foundation of your financial plan, we wonder if she ought to put even MORE emphasis on LTCi protection
People all-too-often assume that long term care is just for the elderly, and

This is a good thing for all of us since, of every...
