Look, the "long term care" benefit extended by the government is not subsidized ~ the insured group pays all the costs ~ about all the US government does is collect the premiums for the of company with the current contract to offer such insurance to federal government employees (their relatives, etc.).

To a degree this is little more than a new sales campaign to sign up more users.

Worth noting OPM just recently signed a new 7 year contract with John Hancock Life and Health Insurance Company for this particular insurance.

The smarter blades among the gay understand this is NOTHING.
