Health care reform top concern should be costs

Alzheimer's disease is going to get you. It's going to get and affect you and everyone you know, whether it's that cherished elderly relative of yours or just your pocketbook. It's going to wreck your future, somehow, due to the absurd costs of covering the expenses of it.

My elderly loved one has been in a full-time Alzheimer's care center for over a year. The cost is over $6,000 per month. There are less expensive places where we might place her; but when it comes to having a decent place for her that meets my family's standards well enough, all such places are "competitively" priced at about the same $6,000 per month.

Demand some kind of cost controls on these businesses! If you don't, Alzheimer's disease is going to completely wreck your life, even if only financially.
