1. Home health care is the future. Cheapest way to meet our aging population's needs.

I know myself, as a senior, that the last place I want to end up in is a nursing home. Even a week in a hospital is, to me, a terrible experience. I know many of my peers would do fine at home with a little help, like someone managing the meds, watching for symptoms, making sure nutritional and hygiene needs are met.

Not the answer for everybody, but surely a better alternative to us who just want to live out our days in the comfort of own homes.
