    Dang, where is there a nursing home for 3k a month? My dad had to go into a nursing home here in Colorado, and had to private pay out of his savings until it was exhausted and the Medicaid kicked in. Private pay at the cheapest place in town was 7.2k a month minimum, and the food was about like that. They shut that facility down a few years ago, and he got moved to a much nicer one that still took medicaid. Food is orders of magnitude better there. Not all places ate like that, but they are all very expensive for private pay.

      I work with a lot of retirees. Many daycare centers require full access and history to their retirees to know how much their making. Wether they gave 3k or 7k or monthly income they want it all.

      No difference in what service is provided regardless of the pay to the institution either.

      Unsure if regulation would help or hurt this industry but it may be necessary.
