It really is a shame. My step-mom has Alzhimer's and my dad was weary to put her in a facility which would care for her around the clock because of the financial impact to him and her pension.

People like to make Obamacare about death boards and other crazy stuff, but it's tragic to think that a man or woman can work their whole life for the American Dream to have an illness wipe that wealth away from themselves and their children.

Tragic.
