Long-term care insurance assisted living, and in-home nursing support can quickly drain even well-planned retirement savings. But what if you didn’t have to accept those sky-high premiums at face value? Buried in the fine print of many insurance policies and government programs are lesser-known strategies that could significantly reduce your monthly or annual expenses. These aren’t scams or hacks.
