This week, Diane explores and brings updates on the Washington Cares Act, a long term care tax on all employees in the state of Washington.  There are 14 other states looking closely at adding a state income tax to help fund LTC needs for those or can't or won't plan for themselves.  Listen, and learn what some of these states have started considering and why.   If you have ever wanted to consider leveraging your care needs with insurance, or if you want to learn about planning strategies offered in your state, the time to act is now, before insurance company restrictions and minimum coverage requirements are implemented, and while multiple planning strategies are available. Thank you to for your diligent research and contribution to the LTC industry.
