Caring for the elderly has become a worldwide issue nowadays, especially in developed countries like the US, the UK, Japan, and China. Most older people will go to caring centres where they can be taken care of by professional nurses and caregivers. In some countries, the government covers or partially subsidizes the expense. While in other countries, their national health care systems do not cover such expenses. Families will have to pay for the living costs of the elders. People have debated this topic for many decades, and there is still no absolute answer to it. To me, I consider this is a public affair, and such expense should not be afforded by individuals, at least not entirely.
