RE :"Take a look at this on nursing homes. It was on our local news.

" I know of this firsthand unfortunately. Not only do nursing care homes here cost ~ 6K per month but unless the patient has relatives that are there every day watching and raising a stink many of the patients end up back in the emergency room or dead within a year due to neglect.

There was an related article on this here the past week: nursing homes have to hire the cheapest staff as possible not even providing them with health insurance because nursing care is so expensive and medicaid pays so little. This is a terrible situation our country is in that was created by many unseemily related factors and national decisions, many of them increased our average lifespan without thinking of the consequences, all popular too.
