Brett Osetec's questions to Genworth Financial Inc (GNW) leadership • Q1 2025
Question
Brett Osetec of KBW asked for more detail on the potential tailwinds the recently reintroduced WISH Act could provide for Genworth's CareScout offering.
Answer
President and CEO Tom McInerney stated that the WISH Act's public-private framework for catastrophic long-term care coverage aligns perfectly with CareScout's strategy. He explained that CareScout's new capped-benefit products are designed to cover the initial period of care, which would be the private responsibility under the act, making private insurance more affordable and viable. The federal government would then cover the high-cost, long-duration claims.
