In the UK, you can read of patient, especially seniors, needing the same type of family care. Some seniors have been forced to drink water from flower vases , some even dying of neglect and dehydration. Long Live National Health Care! (Pun intended)

In the US, a senior needing nursing home care must allow the nursing home to consume all her savings. When her assets have been consumed, she becomes eligible for Medicaid. The nursing home will deliver whatever level of care is needed to keep her alive until she's eligible for Medicaid. Once on Medicaid, the nursing home is obligated to accept Medicaid's reimbursement rates. The patient then quickly dies.
