[quote=Anonymous]The future is not looking good. Most people do not have 100K and up per year to pay for care. We just plain live too long, so nobody is dying of quick heart attacks or even plain and simple cancer. They lapse into dementia with a pile of chronic illnesses. We also do not have an unlimited supply of low-status women to dump on, so the army of primarily women of color that work in homecare tending to the "massahs." I find it morally repugnant, no better than having house servants back in the day. I have nobody to guilt into caregiving, no kids, so will just take the "business class to Zurich" in the early stages of dementia. 30K will cover everything, a lot cheaper than a nursing home and nobody has to tend to me.
