[quote=Anonymous]OP - Most American citizens who have paid taxes their whole lives still have to rely on family and friends to take care of them in their old age. Despite being extremely expensive, the US safety net for the elderly is extremely thin and full of holes. My dad has advanced dementia, is incontinent and mostly wheelchair bound and Medicaid pays for none of his care. For years it was my mother caring for all of his personal needs and now it is covered by private pay long-term care insurance and personal savings. It's crazy expensive to be old and frail. If there is little to no support for legal citizens, you can begin to understand why people are so frustrated at the idea that there would be public resources available for a non-citizen who is here illegally.
