When people divest themselves of assets, surely SOMEONE has to pay the people who work in nursing homes ? If the people receiving care have money but don't want to pay, who then pays ? ? Isn't that similar to going to the doctor and needing heart surgery to save your life, but after the surgery you don't want to pay the surgeon for services rendered ? I can't help but think somehow, some body, must pay to build and staff nursing facilities !

Who pays for the nursing homes? Our tax dollars. We have all paid taxes for years right?
