It's incredible... insurance policies do not pay for care as it could run into the tens of millions per person, which would bankrupt any company. In

No, they'd rather you spend your assets, leaving nothing for your kids to inherit. My mother just went into care, she's got lots of liquid assets and a house in a trust.

*She*, up until recently, was dealing with my aunt's dementia care - she went through all of her assets and are now looking for a facility that Medicare can cover - but there aren't any beds available.

I wonder if we're going to have one of those "black mirror" futures where robotics become senior care givers - someone who can stay in your home with you, never sleeps, can monitor vital signs and call 911.

On a side note, I hear people rallying to stop property taxes at age 65. I'm on board for that - even though California heavily rewarded homeowners in the 70s with grandfathered tax estimates, it's still a huge burden for someone on a fixed income.

Now, we all need to figure out how to be as healthy, mentally and physically, as we can be.
