[quote=Anonymous]Your choice really is buying long term care insurance or just hoping you don’t get something nasty like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s, and know that if you do get it you’ll end up on Medicaid for skilled nursing care. There really isn’t any way a regular middle class American can save enough for care for one of those diseases - my Dad’s care has cost a million already over the past 6-7 years, and he will probably live for years still (Parkinson’s). Even if he wanted to die (he doesn’t) he wouldn’t be able to manage it. You can’t just will yourself to not wake up in the morning, and all other measures take brain power or will power, things these diseases rob.[/quote]
