BETHESDA, Md. - Marylandian -- Long-term care planning specialist Kim Natovitz, CLU, CLTC, was recently featured in an upcoming national television interview with renowned retirement income expert and economist Tom Hegna on the acclaimed program Moving America Forward.

The segment is scheduled to air nationally on CNBC as sponsored programming on Saturday, June 20 at 10:00 a.m. EST and focuses on one of the most pressing financial concerns facing American families today: the growing need for long-term care planning as part of a comprehensive retirement strategy.

As Americans live longer and healthcare costs continue rising, long-term care has become a central part of retirement planning for both financial advisors and their clients. Natovitz views long-term care insurance as critical family protection designed to help prevent a debilitating illness or extended care event from financially devastating a family.

According to the latest report from the Social Security and Medicare Trustees, the Hospital Insurance Trust Fund could be depleted by 2033, potentially triggering an 11% reduction in Medicare benefits. At the same time, long-term care remains both common and expensive — and for many families, just a few years of paid care can erase decades of retirement savings.

During the interview, Natovitz discussed the financial, emotional, and caregiving challenges families often encounter when long-term care needs arise unexpectedly. Drawing on more than two decades of industry experience, she emphasized that preparing for future healthcare expenses is no longer optional for individuals approaching retirement.

"Many people spend years preparing for retirement income but fail to address the potential impact of long-term care costs," said Natovitz. "Without a strategy in place, families can face significant financial strain, emotional stress, and difficult caregiving decisions. Planning ahead helps preserve both financial security and personal independence."

Natovitz has built her career around helping clients proactively navigate the complex intersection of aging, healthcare, insurance, and asset protection. Her work includes designing customized long-term care insurance and planning solutions for individuals, business owners, and high-net-worth families seeking to protect retirement assets while maintaining flexibility and dignity later in life.

Known for translating complicated insurance and financial concepts into practical guidance, Natovitz has become a sought-after speaker for professional conferences, continuing education programs, and industry events nationwide. Since the early 2000s, she has worked closely with home healthcare agencies, aging life care professionals, and daily money managers to help families understand the realities of long-term care preparation.
