I have to be out for the rest of the day, will continue on with this later when I return...My real life does consume my time...

One last thing I would say...three of my husbands elderly relatives have died in Florida, within the last couple of years...

One aunt, in her 90s died from a cancerous brain tumor...the docs in Florida, did everything possible for her that they could, and she actually did manage to live quite a bit longer than had been originally thought, simply because of the excellent care she received...

Another aunt, became violently ill on a cruise, due to some ongoing medical problems, and had to be airlifted to her home state of Florida, where another very serious medical condition was diagnosed...the doctors treating her, used every medical means at their disposal to treat her, and when that did not work, they even scoured around, trying to find experiemental trials that would include her in their treatment programs...unfortunatley she died before this could happen...but she was in her late 80s, and no one killed her...she died from her medical problems...

Another uncle, again in his 80s, spent the last few years of his life in a nursing home, due to severe complications from his diabetes, and the extreme care he required...he lived for those years in the nursing home, extremely well taken care of, and lived longer than anyone thought he would, considering his frail state of health...

Three of our elderly relatives living in Florida, all in the Clearwater Florida area, receiving extremely fine medical care, disprove the point, that the elderly in Florida are there only to be poorly taken care of, so that they will die as soon as possible..

And I am sure, that there are many, many posters, just here on FR, who either live in Florida, or have relatives in Florida, who are just as satisfied with their medical care as I have been, with our elderly relatives...

Poor medical care, and superior medical care, is found in all states...Florida is no different...\
