Because people can't afford dignity and care, for the most part?
It sounds good, but if you've ever cared for a severely demented person who can no longer safely walk, you will have to make the choice between (a) strapping someone to a bed or (b) paying for 24/7 care (or, to some pro-rated amount, giving up your own time) to ensure that they don't get up, fall, and break something.
