It’s hard to believe the 2008 Long-Term Care Consciousness Tour is over! It seems like it just started.

On December 27, 2007, the Center for Long-Term Care Reform purchased a 2008 “Titanium Metallic” (i.e., silver) FJ Cruiser and a 16-foot 2008 Airstream trailer. This rig was affectionately nicknamed “The Silver Bullet of Long-Term Care”. Center president Steve Moses lived in it for a year, eating and sleeping nine out of ten nights in RV (Recreational Vehicle) Parks all across the land.

I am proud to say that as a regional representative for the LTC Consciousness Tour, I invited Steve to Houston, and arranged speaking engagements for him. We partnered with The Forum at Memorial Woods. Steve stayed in their gorgeous community and they generously, graciously, underwrote the Tour’s events.

The LTC Tour concluded on December 15, 2008 after covering 28,028 miles, 41 states, and over 100 RV Parks; consuming 127 tanks of gas with prices from $1.80 to $4.50 per gallon; and touching hundreds of thousands of people with our message of responsible long-term care planning and rational LTC public policy.

In all, the LTC Tour touched many, many people with a critical message:plan for LTC by looking through the windshield, based on what’s coming; not by looking through the rear-view mirror based on how LTC was funded in the past. Everything is about to change. You won’t get access to quality LTC unless you can pay privately. So plan early and save, invest or insure for the risk and cost of LTC.
