If you're concerned about protecting your assets and maintaining your financial independence in your later years, long-term care insurance (LTCI) may be for you.Who needs it?Approximately 40 percent of Americans age 65 or older will need long-term care at some point during their lives.

After that, you'll pay $137.50 per day (in 2010) for your care through day 100, and Medicare will pick up the balance.
