Description: The Canadian public health care delivery system continues to experience growing needs for increased funding. The total health care delivery system today costs Canadians $98 billion a year or about 9.7 percent of GDP. Of that total cost, 71 percent is paid by the government, which means the taxpayers. While that may pale in comparison to the costs in the U.S., it does make the Canadian system one of the five most expensive health care delivery systems in the world. While today’s cost pressures are of major concern, of even more concern are the costs being projected by many participants in the current health care debate for the period when the Baby Boom makes higher demands on the Canadian health care delivery system. Traditional projection methods, however, do not differentiate between the elderly who survive the year versus those who die as to their use of health care systems. This paper first looks at the impact that this differentiation could have on projected costs. Second, the paper looks at the impact that the wide use of Advance Directives [also called Living Wills] might have on future health care costs and some of the issues surrounding their use. From Actuarial Research Clearing House 2004, Vol. 1.

Description: The Long-Term Care Insurance market is evolving. Parallels can be drawn between the current product cycle of standalone LTCI and past experiences of other insurance products. Over the last decade, the LTCI market has shifted to include a greater presence of non-standalone LTC insurance. Individual LTCI sales have been on the decline, while life-LTCI combination products have been on the rise. Because of this, many perceive that the life-combination products are taking over the LTCI market and replacing standalone LTC insurance. While life-combination products meet the LTC needs for policyholders, they may not be a good fit for all consumers in this market.
