Why do you think it may be underpriced? A policy with a payout ratio of 1.0 can still be highly profitable for an insurer.

Not highly profitable without assuming too much risk, but yes, 1.0 is profitable.
But let’s say the LTC underwriters can pay out 10% more and stay in business. That would mean that in The OP’s “scam” scenario situation, instead of getting, say, $100,000 in benefits over two years, they could get $110,000. However, the inflamed wording suggests OP wants a lot more than his relative is getting, not a little bit more, like $300,000 over four years. That wouldn’t be possible to do in aggregate without charging a higher premium.
