How about your family. Sorry someone like you may not have somone who would do that. Or someone like you would not take care of a family member. You are getting things mixed up and making to broad a statement and question. What really costs money is intensive care in a hospital. It is not someone who is brain damaged and needs basic nursing care. Food, water, bathing, teeth brushed. All this COULD be done by family members but most will NOT do it as the GOVERNEMT now pays for it. So the family could do it. Would it be hard absolutely. Espically for the modern family. One where there a no or few children. Where children move away and expect the goverment to take care of momma and daddy etc. It is the breakdown of the family unit caused by the government programs that families feel no need to care for their elders or their sick. I know people talk about the high cost of Nursing Home care but that is bogus as it like everthing else depends on where you live. In Arkansas it is 1800 a month. Surly family members along with the patients SS check could if they HAD too pay the bill. But you are right they will not and no one will make them. Not even you.
I guess you didn't read my post #104.
