[QUOTE="( deleted account ), post: 221754, member: 5993"] Excellent point Erich! We all complain about people being on the government dole here, yet when it comes down to taking care and paying for oneself, I continually read of all kinds of end runs around self responsibility and how to get elderly loved ones covered with Medicaid, AKA Welfare. Yes Plainsman, from Liberals AND Conservatives! LOL All of of us here are vocal when it comes to welfare, but when it touches ourselves or our own loved ones, we want different rules. I’ve seen this many times over the years, as I’m sure every long term care sales guy sees this at least weekly. Soap box follows - sorry.... it's interesting how they manage this in other countries. Should be seriously looked at here, like medical insurance costs, but that’s another topic. Nursing home care, assisted living, etc. is a terrible costly problem and will only become worse with the influx baby boomers in declining health entering retirement,every day. It’s more of a future question, not IF we pay for it, but HOW do we pay for it, and most importantly how do we cut costs. Do good quality nursing homes really have to be like 5star high class hotels, etc. I’m not suggesting they be cheap lousy awful places either. OK, off my soap box now.
