2gifts analyzes,

It costs us around $3600 per year to insure both DH and me for LTC. FIL spent about 2 years in a nursing home, and his estate owes Medicaid close to $200,000 to pay for that,

Then again, if you invest that $3600/yr at an 8% return over 30 years, you get $408,000. You could reimburse Medicaid with enough left over to buy a boat or an airplane.
