For a lot of Americans of the 30 to 50 demographic, as they live through the age-density inversion of the baby boomer generation passing out of this world, there are going to be a lot of hard and personal decisions to make.
Systematically, we can cushion the blow a bit by setting up and supporting the processes to spread the labor around. But if we do nothing, the default is going to be "gosh, I guess you're just unlucky that your parents lived so long and didn't plan for their twilight years," and that's going to result in a lot of misery, either for a younger generation or an older generation (and probably both), and possibly some changes to the aggregate moral code of the United States (what happens if an entire demographic just decides to walk out on responsibility for their parents?).
