Does anyone have experience with Palliative Care?

It saddens me to think that whether it be aging, disabled or the need for palliative care that money and what you can afford comes before caring for the person and their needs and the families. Something needs to change.

@kellyanne9 I think that you’re right hen it comes caring for the aged, disabled, or those needing palliative care. It’s difficult but we do have to remember that it COSTS money to care for the aged, disabled, and those needing palliative care. My father and mother received hospice care will in their long term care home. Yes, it cost $$. Money to pay salaries, a hospital bed, wheel chairs, frequent nurse visits, and gas to help get them there. Yes, it would be nice for insurance to pay, but would you pay more in premiums just in case you needed it some day?
What would you suggest as a fairer option?
