How can you actively prevent it from getting worse—like starting now/today?

    My mother has Alzheimer and it’s costing us 15K/mo to care for her. She only has about a year of money left. She is in good physical health but mentally she is a toddler. her care costs are double my take home pay, so if her money runs out before she dies, i am screwed.

    Nothing I can do about it. It’s the American healthcare system. Some problems are totally outside of anyone’s person control.

      15k/month is a lot. Really a lot.

      Have you considered the possibility of medical tourism, to say India? Any particular treatment/procedure that really requires you costly American doctors, and can’t be done elsewhere?
