This is a travesty to our dealing with caregiving and other illnesses. We would not be able to afford this amount. What has happened to our Healthcare System? It seems like no one cares.

I believe doctors and other health care professionals do care but they are stretched very thin and under the thumbs of Big Pharma and Big Insurance. We baby boomers are filling the memory-care beds now, but what happens to all those plush facilities (the $400k-$500k ones that are proliferating everywhere) when the baby boomers are no more? Will retirement communities be the next hollowed out shopping malls? But that's for the future. What are we to do now? Impoverish ourselves after a lifetime of working and saving and leave nothing to our kids?
