My wife and I have long-term care, but that covers the rent for a nursing home or assisted living. The real expensive part seems to come in the last 3-12 months of life. The only real resolution for that would probably involve POA’s for Health, which right now really only cover emergencies when the patient is not breathing and unable to make decisions, etc. Maybe more education on hospice and palliative care decisions can make things less expensive.

hospice and palliative care are both covered by medicare and its not “free”....
