Comment: This is a brilliant proposal by Sen. Thune and Congressman Terry. This proposal is "budget neutral" and would cost the federal government nothing now, and little or nothing in the future. It would certainly save state governments billions of dollars.
Since these accounts are tax-deferred accounts, the federal gov't would see no tax revenues from these accounts until many years into the future. In many cases, the federal gov't would not receive any revenue from these tax-deferred accounts until the death of the owner (or the death of the owner and the death of the owner's spouse.)
By allowing tax-free withdrawals to purchase long term care insurance, fewer Baby Boomers will have to rely on Medicaid to pay for their long term care services. The Medicaid budget will not overwhelm taxpayers and Medicaid will be protected for the truly needy.
