It's bad enough to expect someone to work until they're 80 yet refuse to hire them after they turn 50. It's worse to attach healthcare to their job or Medicare, yet ignore those who fall between 'too old to hire' and Medicare-eligible. But it's a whole other thing to saddle those same people with the burden of caring for family members with Alzheimer's simply because they don't make enough money to afford care. How much does the middle class have to suffer before we say ENOUGH?
Rant over.
