Also you have to have over $100,000 in liquid assets, which isn't a particularly large group of people.

IRAs and taxable investment accounts count toward the $100k. I don't have any cash parked there.

They also have levels below $100k, but they're not as good.

(You're not disagreeing with GP. Stocks and mutual funds/ETFs are a liquid asset.)
