Don't think about it as losing their homes, think about it as paying for their care. It is very arduous, but the children usually can take care of the parent. They just don't want the sacrifice, all too often. It's too easy to let Big Daddy Gov't do it (that would be out of OUR pockets)

Oh I agree with you, my wife and I are currently paying on long term care insurance for our folks. Luckily, we are in a position to be able to do so.

I just find it ironic that it seems to be OK for taxpayer dollars to be spent for the medical care of non-citizens (which the government knows is write off), especially when you consider that the money used for non-citizen health care, was provided in part by the taxes paid by the deceased and their heirs.
