The public has a greater awareness that LTC is going to become an individual responsibility. The government has sent Americans a clear message. Government won't and can't afford to expand Medicare and Medicaid to provide LTC services for everyone. CNA Care Connection satisfies benefit issues for employers and employees, said the CNA executive. Employers add an attractive, timely benefit to their employee compensation package.
Employees secure coverage that has been researched by their employer.
In addition, employees have an opportunity via their employer for future planning. Similar to individual LTC consumers, employees enjoy tax savings through premium deductions. CNA Care Connection is marketed in all 50 states, and the primary producing source is the independent agency system, according to Vestergaard. We see an opportunity here, for consumers, for our agents and for ourselves. Traditionally, LTC has been offered by the insurance industry to the large, major corporations.
