Jack Schroeder and Associates
JSA is a nationally recognized leader in the wholesale distribution of Medicare plans, however our roots run deep with long term care insurance. Beginning with leadership in our home state of WI and the release of CNA’s Convalescent Care plan in 1984. JSA embraced the important market changes in the late 90’s coinciding with the intro of Tax Qualified LTCi plans, and the Corp/employer market. Today we offer all of the most popular plans including the ever evolving and improving life insurance based LTCi plans. With over 30 years of commitment, we help independent agents succeed in this market.
Long Term Care Funding Options
Traditional LTCi

- May be viewed by clients as expensive – ask JSA Marketing about funding strategies
- Best plan to pay for comprehensive LTC services
Asset-based LTCi
