How about your kids take you in, provide the care and you pay them? That would be far more equitable for the American people.

I have watched so many couples dump their money to the kids to live off the public coffers. Talk about a travesty...
Some people say that the quality of a society or country can be determined by how well they take care of their aging population. I wonder where the US ranks compared with Canada and Switzerland?
