What I'm saying jeba is that current Social Security funding is inadequate, because an increasingly ageing population (in percentage terms) is costing the NHS and Social Services more and more.
I understand that. However, I don´t agree with that you said losing your house because of the cost of caregiving is inevitable. You can take out insurance to cover those cost. In Germany that´s even mandatory in order to avoid that the taxpayer has to step in.
