My wife and I are fortunate to be in a position to afford healthcare as we age (or escape back to Canada if need be). At the same time we don’t have that close knit community and family situation that is so beneficial. The American healthcare system is brutal on the elderly without a funded retirement, as is the lack of a multigenerational living tradition that provides needed support. I doubt healthcare here will improve much soon; perhaps the insanity of today’s rent and mortgages will push families back together.
