I hardly ever think about that whole thing, probably far to young to, though.
ATM my thoughts lean towards my brain spreaded all over the walls the day before I need help to eat, or take a sh.it.
Count on a total stranger being paid 200$ a month to look after me or a loved one ?? Looooooool !!!!!
Get real guys.... for every 1 of you that finds a rare pearl, there will be 2 or 3 that will be lifted of all your earthly belongings.......at best.
It happens in the best of places, it is
faaaaaar more likely to happen here, mainly due to wealth disparity.
IMHO the dr is not a place for a lonely elder person, I am not even sure its a place for an eldery person even with his family by his side.
My wife keeps going on about how we will bring my parents over in their old age, and I am not keen, nor is mum lol ( thankfully even if dad is getting on--------76 is very, very old, even if he pretends the opposite running around, travelling, hiking, and basically living a "normal " life-------- mum is "only" 62, so she can look after for at least a decade longer
).
Health care in the dr is sh.itty at best. Yes, yes, even HOMS and co. Ambulances are not worth anything at all. There is probably 1 air-worthy medicvac at the best of times. 50 % chance that doctors daddy bought him hos diplomas......
Nope, nope, nope, not happening.
All in all if you are over 60, I hope your health is solid, and that you are a tough old fart that can still take a punch or 2, and can dish them out !!!!
