| Popis: | Persons with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) have a life expectancy 6–7 years less than those without the disease, but disability increases with disease duration and often limits ability to work. Access to personal insurance, including health (HI), short- and long-term disability income (STD, LTD), long-term care (LTC), and life insurance (LI), is largely employer-based or purchased out of pocket from earnings. Maintaining or losing employment can cause concern regarding the cost and coverage of insurance, especially for those over 50 years of age, for whom keeping employment may be challenging at best. |
