Sommario/riassunto |
|
For good reasons, Americans are growing concerned about the cost of health care and housing. There are many reasons why people need care-the addiction of a teenage child or spouse, an elderly relative in need of nursing home care, a psychological disorder, or a chronic medical condition-but even moderately successful institutional solutions for these problems are often too costly to be truly helpful. |
