Rep. Vail Outlines Shortsighted Long-Term Care Insurance Changes
Key Takeaways
- Rep. Vail warns bill favors new policies over existing policyholders
- Lawmakers call out risk of higher costs for current policyholders
- Bill would shift long-term care burdens onto prepared Connecticut families
In Human Services, I raised concerns about efforts to fix Connecticut’s fragmented long-term care insurance market.
While this bill adds important consumer protections, many apply mainly to new policies. Those who already planned ahead and purchased coverage may not benefit—and could instead face higher costs as insurers adjust.
We should be clear: this risks shifting the burden, not solving the problem. The industry must do better for both current and future policyholders.
