just wonder how the gub’mint will deal with alzheimer’s patients. more and more baby boomers are reaching retirement age and not enough youth to deal with the number of people to support the crazy spending.

i have my mother living with me now, 77 diagnosed with alzheimers and the medical field has already changed in two years. care is getting sketchy, 4 physicians have left the area and only 1 nurse practitioner has been hired, medical appointments more spread out, when seeing the physician excellent care being given, no need for nursing home placement. Only 2 nursing homes in the county (of 14,000 people, yet the county consists of area of 532 miles) where I live in. 2 year waiting list. no hospice, adult day care services closed doors a year ago. services virtually non existent.

The government is not interested in the well-being of its citizens except in terms of power seekers having workers to enable them to maintain and expand their power.

Therefore, the weak are really of no interest to them at all. To the extent that the weak cost them money, they will do what they can to rid themselves of those weak members.

Any pretensions about caring for people are simply the means by which they gain control over vast sums of wealth and additional power over the lives of the underlings.

They will cut them off from the land of the living without qualm and for the slightest of reasons.
