This exact same thing happened to my family. When we ran out of money we had to put them in a nursing home. It was devastating financially, mentally, emotionally, physically. Medicare covering this would be a godsend for so many families.
This would transform the lives of multiple generations, at every income level.
My parents lived an upper middle class existence, working hard for decades. They saved money to leave their kids.
And then spent all of it on home health aides in the last few years of their lives.
