nursing home at some point in life is 49(2)

Price, Health Insurance of America, 1997

Friends and family may not be in a financial
position to help pay for the care you require
when you need it. Currently, one year in the
nursing home is estimated to cost 41,000 as a
national average.(3) If we consider even a
conservative inflation increase of 5 per year,
within the next 25 years, one years stay in a
nursing home could more than 100,000.(4)
