The function of “healthcare” in the US is to separate families from their generational wealth at end of life. The way the system is set up all a persons assets will be used up and depleted paying for required care Medicare does not cover (in home or assisted living). Only when a person is destitute with all their assets depleted will Medicaid kick in.
The result is a transfer of wealth from individuals to the for profit health care industry. Only the wealthy have enough assets to survive this process to leave something to their heirs.
