The Office must run regular, coordinated enrollment, promotion, and education efforts, working with the insurers. (c) Consultation. For rules affecting people in paragraph (3) or (4) of section 9001, or their qualified relatives, the Office must work with the right Secretary to write them. (d) Informed Decisionmaking. The Office must give every applicant the information they need to weigh the pros and cons of this coverage, including: (1) the main benefits this chapter offers, compared to long-term care coverage generally available elsewhere; (2) example costs of long-term care, and whether this chapter's benefits are enough to cover them — including (A) how inflation will likely affect the benefits' value, and (B) how that inflation-adjusted value compares to future long-term care costs; (3) any rights to cancel coverage or get a refund of premiums — including (A) the likely number or percentage of people who will let their coverage lapse, based on similar group programs and, once available, this chapter itself; and (B) (i) a summary of how and when premiums can rise, (ii) the last 10 years of premium history for each insurer in this program, and (iii) if costs are expected to rise, projected premiums for a typical enrollee at different ages; and (4) the pros and cons of long-term care insurance generally, compared with other ways to save for long-term care costs, like tax-qualified retirement accounts or other investments.
