If my mother ever requires personal care, I don’t care how much it puts me in the hole she’s either moving in with me or in the house for sale across the street. There’s no fookin’ way I’d bunk her in a capitalist-run nursing home.

You can say that, but situations can overwhelm you. I had to put my husband in a nursing home, and I hated it, but I was physically not strong enough to lift and care for him as his disease progressed. And I could not afford to have someone on hand around the clock. We did that with his mother, and it bankrupted us, and that is why I have no money now, and will soon lose my home. So don’t say never.
