Charming Helen was a lifetime charmer
It was a springtime evening in 1950 when Melvyn Huber proposed to his wife the first time. Helen Huber was living in The Webster -- an apartment community for unmarried, working women on West 34th Street in New York City. Mel Huber said he waited patiently during a meal in The Webster's first-floor dining room, the newly purchased engagement ring heavy on his mind. In those days, Webster women entertained their courtiers after dinner in the beau parlor -- a three-sided room opening into the corridor. "You sat there with your date and behaved yourself," Mel Huber recalled with amusement. The parlor is the place he planned to propose. The problem was that Helen Huber was invested in her dinner-time dessert, and not getting anywhere fast. She loved ice cream.

Long-Term Care Insurance: Emerging Corporate Benefit
Long-term care and its associated costs is a major challenge that is evolving for many reasons on several fronts. These forces include an aging population heavily weighted in the age 65-85 demographic, medical technology resulting in much longer life spans, new environments in which to receive long-term care services that simply didn't exist years ago--including assisted living and more comprehensive home health care services. As one might expect, potential solutions to the challenge of paying for long-term care needs are changing along with the new service delivery models. These include more restrictions on two well known, albeit limited, federal sources of funds, Medicaid and Medicare.
The sweeping Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 was perhaps the most drastic set of changes to the Medicaid program since 1993.
