Should Long Term Care Insurance Be Mandated? 
Should long term care be mandated ? Originally with the ACA -LRB- obamacare -RRB- it was . It was quickly removed as it was discovered that long term care payouts are incredibly expensive and a $ 50 a month charge to everyone would not cover the expenses to be paid out . It is hard to demand a mandate if one can not collect enough revenues to pay the benefits the mandate would create . There is a need for LTC for more and more people , private and public insurance struggle to meet the costs expected with the coverage . Private insurance rates are rising at a quick rate . I just do n't believe it is mathematically possible to mandate and actually provide the service to everyone .
