KIRKLAND, WA - Oct. 7 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- As 77 million baby boomers approach retirement and most Americans enjoy longer life spans, a time bomb ticks.

State-run Medicaid does contribute to long-term care expenses -- for the indigent. But Medicaid costs are ballooning to the breaking point. Family assets are commonly tapped, but soon run out except for the very wealthy. So who's going to protect longer-living Americans, so they can bounce back from down time without somebody going broke?
