TORONTO, Nov. 28, 2012 /CNW/ - Today, the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association (CLHIA) published a new brochure, A guide to long-term care insurance, as part of its 'Ready for Life' campaign during Financial Literacy Month. It provides information on long-term care insurance in order to help consumers understand why it should form part of their overall financial plan.
"Canadians need to recognize that they are responsible for covering the costs of much of their long-term care needs and it is important to be aware of their options", said Wendy Hope, CLHIA's Vice President, External Relations.
The CLHIA is strongly committed to improving the financial literacy of Canadians on insurance matters. This brochure is the 8th in the series of guides produced by the CLHIA on a wide variety of insurance products and services and is available on the Association's website.
