Harold, I spoke at length with Martin Bayne, a fellow Parkie, who is the Web site owner of "Mr. Long Term Care." (URL follows) http://www.mr-longtermcare.com/ltc1/index.html When I asked Marty about the possibility of my getting long term care insurance, HE said that one cannot get long term care insurance when one already has a pre-existing disabling disease. I have PD.... I don't think you'll find a more knowledgeable individual when it come to long term care. I suggest you logon to Marty's Web site and drop him an email asking about the possibility of your getting long term care and see what he says. He WILL respond, and honestly. NOTE: The "Mr. Long Tern Care" Web site is an excellent resource and one of the most thoughtfully presented sites of it's kind that I've come across. This unique site is not only informative about long term care but is a true labor of love for Marty. AND it's going to be even better (if possible) real soon as Marty's doing a major upgrade by making his site a mega-rmedical- resource site. I've hadda sneak-peak and the new site's gonna be dynamite when it's online. Soooo.... DO contact Marty before ya end up wasting your time with someone who may be pushing to sell you other types of insurance than long term care insurance.

If so what company and the cost and how difficult was it to get approved? I had such an agent call me tonight. He's coming to talk to me in the morning. I'd like some input from the group on their experiences trying to get ltc insurance. He claims to represent a company that will insure Parkinson's patients. Harold - Columbia
