The public is mixed on whether a federal tax-credit would encourage them to buy long-term care insurance. About half (48%) say a tax credit would make them more likely to buy a policy, while the same share (48%) say it would not.

Younger adults appear to be more encouraged by the prospect of a tax credit – over half (51%) of adults ages 18-64 say a tax credit would make them more likely to purchase long-term care insurance, while just over one-third (34%) of seniors say the same.
