The long-term care insurance premiums paid by the elderly have been revised from this year, and the national average has exceeded 6000 yen per month for the first time.
Of the long-term care insurance premiums, the "first premium" paid by people aged 65 and over was reviewed once every three years for each municipality and revised nationwide in April.
According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the average monthly amount nationwide is 6014 yen, which is 145 yen, which is 2.5% higher than the previous revision three years ago.
The highest
price
was
▽ Aogashima Village, Tokyo for 9800 yen,
followed by
▽ Gojome Town
,
Akita Prefecture for 8300 yen, and
▽ Katsurao Village
,
Fukushima Prefecture for 8200 yen.
On the other hand, the lowest was
▽ Otoineppu Village in Hokkaido and Kusatsu Town in Gunma Prefecture at 3300 yen, and
▽ Ogasawara Village in Tokyo at 3374 yen.
The insurance premium was 2911 yen in 2000 when the long-term care insurance system started, but this time it is estimated to exceed 6000 yen for the first time and reach about 9000 yen in 2040.
On the other hand, this time, half of the municipalities left or lowered their insurance premiums, so the rate of increase was reduced to less than half of the previous revision.
According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, "In addition to the effect of long-term care prevention, some local governments have postponed the increase in consideration of the corona-damaged household budget. I want to put more effort into prevention. "
