LONG TERM CARE (NURSING HOME) INSURANCE DISCRIMINATION
Thu, 3/29/2012 - 9:15pm GMT
Hi! I just went to a financial advisor and found out that long term care coverage is not available for anyone with "cognitive deficits", and Asperger's is apparently a "cognitive deficit". I'm trying to preserve my assets for my NT son in case I need a nursing home in 10 or 15 years.
It's interesting that as a high-functioning aspie I'm not considered to be disabled and therefore can't get any special benefits or care, but as a high-functioning aspie I'm not allowed to provide my own benefits and care.
This is something that needs a solution.
I want to sell my big house and build a tiny one, but zoning laws don't permit. Bummer.
Here's a petition that might help:

Here in NJ no one is allowed to build a small house; McMansions and suburban sprawl only. Yuck.
