People need to stop looking at it like this.

Healthcare is a triangle. There are three players. You, Insurance, and Doctor.

All three are adversaries and allies in different ways.



In reality the triangle is Doctors, Insurance, Hospitals, and you in the middle.


In reality what the article says is they needed adult-sitters.

Family at first but USE PROFESSIONALS. Due to scummy ins company wanting docs.

How is that health care? Babysitting is now health care???

We need a better way to deal with dementia. Not health care.

A literal babysitter to make sure they eat and don't run into the street.

I don't see dementia as sickness. Brain illness maybe.

So we have to warehouse these feeble folk. That is the problem.

We need a more humane way rather than Doctor K's method..

What about the poor old guys girlfriend?
