The time to look into long-term care insurance, not a program that will be provided by the government but something that you should do as being a responsible member of society, the time to look into providing for long-term care for yourself and your spouse, the time to do that is now. I again recognize that that is a little bit off our subject tonight, but it does tie into the greater knowledge that at some point the Federal Government's ability to pay for everything that is going to be required possibly could be outstripped. By someone being responsible and providing for themselves and their families now with long-term care insurance, this is the time to do it for individuals our age and a little bit younger.
