Cut Costs

Reform This World

A family member of mine lives in an assisted living facility.

She had a brain aneurysm and several later strokes that has left her partially paralyzed and very hard to communicate with.

She lived her life working a good job and has great insurance and pension. The facility she lives in costs a mint each month, but she can apparently afford it. For now.

I went to visit her recently and became irritated by the high cost; while the services were lacking. Things that should be getting done was not getting done, especially considering how much she paid to be there.

This re-awakened something I had considered in the past.

As I sat there in my car after visiting. I looked across the street at this awesome building. It was an architectural wonder with phenomenal landscaping.

I thought about how much money it cost to build and maintain this beautiful structure. Then, I noticed it was a medical building.

I wonder who really pays for it? Patients? Or tax payer grants?

Then, I looked down the road and saw parking lot after parking lot full of the most elaborate buildings in town. All medical facilities of some kind.
