Elder care is insane, too.

My coworker was looking for a place to care for his elderly mother-in-law. She has dementia and requires a walker to get around. Found a place that offers an affordable, flat rate 4-year plan (because I guess statistically most residents don't make it through the 4 years).

Well she's still kicking and once that plan expired they jacked the rates up to $9,000 a month.

So they start looking for a different place. They discover that Medicaid doesn't kick in unless you're essentially broke. They found a place that will take her, but won't accept Medicaid until she's burned through her life savings.

But hey we have cool missiles and fighter planes and billionaires get tax breaks and go to space so that's cool I guess
