[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5894954, member: 24302"] Oh come on, not everyone goes into a nursing home. Not even close. I toyed with the idea of staying in the States. I'd have to invest in something to live in. Either that or pay through the nose for an apartment. So I'm heading south. Plenty of places where you can get an affordable apartment with good internet. The U.S. is too expensive for people on just Social Security. Not cheap for many of the rest either. So I'll pay as I go overseas. But won't happen until my dad passes. Could be years and good for him. Meanwhile inflation is eating up my purchasing power. I saw a Congressional hearing the other day where Matt Gaetz held up a small bag of jet engine bushings. Something that should be pretty cheap to acquire. The Pentagon is paying $90k for that bag. I'm all for a strong defense but this is ludicrous. We're killing ourselves financially. My father went to his doctor's office yesterday. They took his blood pressure. Did a few other routine things. Doctor wasn't there. He saw the doctor last week. But Medicare will be billed for $175 if I remember right. Multiply that by all that doctor's patients and then by all the doctors out there. They pad their billing with unnecessary visits. We're screwed yet people will ask where do we cut back? There was absolutely nothing done for my dad yesterday that couldn't have waited. So good luck with finding more money for evermore programs. At some point I would think even you would say we have to cut back. Not holding my breath. [/QUOTE]
