The crisis of the elderly in American nursing homes

Trump Administration Cuts The Size Of Fines For Health Violations In Nursing Homes

The American capitalist system's contempt for the elderly pre-dates President Donald Trump. Way back in 2000 I discovered this book : " But This Is My Mother-the plight of elders in American nursing homes " by Cynthia Loucks .

" Written by a daughter whose mother a total care patient in a nursing home , this a completely personal story plus an eye opener about what passes as average in many nursing homes "( a reviewer ).

Again the root of the evil is the FOR PROFIT health care system in which health care for ALL cannot possibly rise to level of a BASIC HUMAN RIGHT.

The attack on the poor and the elderly is a decades long BIPARTISAN effort . It took off in the Reagan Era . Democratic Socialism will end it !
