People with Alzheimer’s aren’t mentally ill but the loss of memory and being unable to deal with the real world is also devastating.
They need extremely expensive and specialized care. And taxpayers wind up footing the bill for them.
And yet the reseach money spent is a fraction of the money spent on AIDS, despite the much greater numbers affected by Alzheimer’s.

False dichotomy. If sGOVT weren’t taking 50%+ of every dollar (usually requiring all heads of household to work), in the middle of COUNTLESS, unauthorized/unconst. areas of our lives, *FAMILIES* can care (or have the $$ necessary to care for) their loved ones.
