IS LONG TERM CARE A BAD INVESTMENT?

In order to have a better understanding of this subject, we need to understand how "insurance" works in real life: Insurance is not an investment - it is purchased (with rare exceptions) to share the risk with a pool of people rather than assuming the entire risk upon ourselves.
