Bill Pitzer, Independent Insurance Agent, advises that most people want to stay in their homes rather than a nursing home, but there are many reasons people find themselves looking to long-term care.  One out of two will go the hospital before death or long term care. Cancer will occur in 3 out of 4 families.  39% will require long term care.  

Financial Planning in the form of insurance for long term care is the answer for many.  It is a way to take control of your independence while giving you peace of mind to know that you have the access and ability to afford quality care. By using an Independent agent, a computer analysis can be done with over 20 different companies to give you the best price available.  You can contact Bill at 1-800-630-3442.

RAFFLE: Jerry Haber won the little one - lost the biggie. 

PROGRAM: Ron Carroll introduced Bill Pitzer and Electra Lakomy. 

 “No one plans to become impoverished due to their illness.  No one wants to be a burden to their children. Yet one and one half million people will lose everything they own to long term care. Before Medicaid steps in, you must draw down to $2,400.  For some, everything you worked for in a lifetime is lost.  Long-term care is becoming an extension of hospitalization.”
