This story isn't really about "losing the birth lottery", so to speak. Its about someone not being able to afford nursing home care.
The fact is that the US spends much of its money on caring for the elderly already, and there is, as the article notes, medicaid for those who cant afford to pay for nursing home care. As a result, im a bit confused as to why he had to sell his medal.

You know to prevent middle class and wealthy people from abusing the system designed for people who can't afford care. Having something that you could sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars therefore may be a disqualifer.
