Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co. is seeking steep premium increases on long-term-care insurance policyholders, a move that will make it much costlier for thousands of customers to pay for nursing homes, assisted living and in-home assistance. The potential increases would apply to about 54,000 of its 72,000 long-term-care policyholders, the company said. In total, the insurer is asking state regulators to approve increases averaging about 77% per customer, a company spokeswoman said.
