The Disability Management Employer Coalition (DMEC) is going to liven up the annual conference it’s holding in Las Vegas by adding a session on the effects of legalized marijuana in the workplace. DMEC organized the session in response to successful efforts to make recreational use of marijuana legal in Washington state and efforts by an activist group to get use of marijuana legalized in the District of Columbia.
One thought is that, generally, disability insurance works so well — even though it faces many of the same sorts of awareness and investment climate challenges that plague the long-term care insurance (LTCI) community — that people with an interest in disability insurance often have to stretch hard to find something to new to talk about.
The usual honest headline of the week for disability insurance would be, “It’s still here, it still costs about what it cost last year, and people are still in denial about the risk of disability.”
