I do not consider Mrs Wagners nursing home placement a medical issue- it is a social issue.She could be taken care of at home, it appears to me her family does not want to take care of her.
Why does healthcare have to take into account of social issues like home placement?
The government should have social issues into a separate fund.Then we can differentiate between the true cost of healthcare, and the true cost of social issues.
I have long term care insurance- when I can no longer ambulate or take care of my ADLs. I do not consider that ‘healthcare”.
I’m sorry? The article stated upfront that the woman lived with the author’s brother and sister-in-law at the time of her injury. Where do you get that her family does not want to take care of her?
The article is about the tests and treatment for a spot on her lung, not where she’s living!
