We need more affordable housing and nursing staff who can take care of elderly homeless people.
Too bad the rich oligarchs are buying up land for data centers to make AI slop the next big thing, and healthcare is laughably underfunded in this country.
But arent you happy that they aren’t just outright murdering you like in Tulsa? Really, you should be happy to starve or succumb to weather or sepsis, pleb.
Unfortunately more nursing staff won’t matter if there’s no one to pay for people to be there. Everyone can get Medicare after they turn 65, but what few people know is that Medicare only pays for Skilled Nursing (SNF), which is short-term and requires a “skilled need,” aka a doc has to certify that you need physical and occupational therapy for a period of time to get better.
As people age though, many lose the ability to care for themselves altogether, and many of those individuals may end up in Long-Term Care (LTC). Medicare does not cover this, only Medicaid does, and only people who are basically destitute are eligible for Medicaid. This means someone who is forced to go to LTC is very likely to spend every penny to their name there before becoming Medicaid eligible.
Make a long-term care plan, y’all, and talk to your parents about theirs too. I’ve seen what happens when it becomes a crisis and no plans have been made and it’s awful.
Europe’s pensions are all crumbling. Who’s gonna pay those pensions and social security when 60% of the population is 60+? It’s a really issue that politicians ignore because they prefer to listen to boomers instead of young parent-age voters.
Great Britain pays a much LOWER portion of its tax receipts into public healthcare than does the USA. The fact that it achieves far greater results, and for the entire population from cradle to grave is just the result of using it properly.
