“Many Illinois nursing homes, however, are challenged by low payments from Medicaid.”
If you live your entire life, and can’t be bothered to save a two nickels to pay for yourself in old age, and ultimately become a burden to your family, the tax payer and the rest of society, I say: too bad. The moral hazard here is too great to ignore. If the government will take care of everyone in old age, then no one will do anything to take care of themselves in old age.
