Long term care

I have been paying for a long term care policy at $136 per month for about 15 years. The policy states that it will pay for approximately 6 weeks (+/-) Then what happens? My agent says that Medicaid would then pay for the care. I am not eligible for Medicaid because my net worth is too high. Is it worthwhile to continue paying the premuim for my policy? I am inclined to think that it is not, but I cannot bring myself to do it. I could certainly use the $136 for other expenses.
