The other day I was updating my insurance in the agency when the service teller suggested I consider a managed health care plan. I am approaching my senior years and the thought never crossed my mind. I took the brochures home and started to look over the options. If I take out a policy, this type of cover can be useful if I ever need assistance or nursing home care. I am discussing this with my wife with the view to taking out this policy. At my age, I think it is the added peace of mind that really counts.
