These are the things that children used to do for their parents in the good old days. Parents took care of their children when they were young. Children took care of their parents when they were old.

Now they go live in a retirement village and expect the government to take care of their health needs.

That will not last much longer.

50 years ago it was rare to see family’s taking care of late 80- 90 year olds. There weren’t that many around. And if they were, they weren’t taking 3 pages of medications and having numerous operations that were keeping them alive past their natural expiration time.
