WA residents were forced to deal with this new tax called Long Term Care (WA Cares). It was introduced in a pretty sloppy and haphazard way. Lots of inconsistencies. However, there was a provision to opt out if you enroll in a private LTC program. So many people opted out. They sent a letter to those people saying “you will never be able to join the LTC program again.” Fine with me. I don’t want it. Now because many people opted out , I sleep is making modifications to the rules. In a nutshell they are changing the rules of the game because they are losing it. How can we win if they keep changing the rules every time they see themselves losing ? #ltc #wacares #transamerica
Vote Republican
Vote them out I guess
Unfortunately not possible for non citizens , while they still need to pay the tax and never be able to reap those benefits.
It’s almost like living in a society involves helping other people from time to time.
Exactly. Politicians need tons of help by taking your money and giving it to their friends who they appoint to useless bureaucratic positions. Help the poor political class and stop whining.
We get it, you got yours so screw everyone else. They’re on their own.
If you don't want Big Government waste like in CA, don't vote for big government politicians (Dems or Republican).
Inslee needs to go , along with his blue lawmakers. Republicans in Washington state are not south crazy give them a chance. This idiot was talking about making “saying false things about election illegal” , gives third world vibes sure it’s unconstitutional but that’s the line of thinking this idiot has. Kick him out.
Elections have consequences. Sounds like they didn’t realize how many people already had LTC insurance. Why wouldn’t you want to save money in the long term by having a universal plan?
The total plan lifetime payout is 36k, which wouldn't cover 3 months of care. It's a scam to generate more state funding because they've run WA into the ground with an insane deficit.
It’s a scam. On top of what the person above said, you need to pay for 10 years to be able to avail any benefits. Making a lot of people ineligible. You can only claim this benefit in WA. Many people like me are not planning to retire in WA or US for that matter. And I would have paid hundreds of thousands by the time I retire just to claim 36k if at all I am able to claim LTC.
At this point just keep your private LTC. It goes with you to any State. It's hard to "win" against the government, can vote them out or sue them, that's about it.
That's Democrats, if you can't win change the rules to win is their moto
Just vote right so you won't deal with this stupidity. Left only has one play: more tax on middle class to fund their determined failure pet projects and fat their own pocket.
