2. If they did, it would be extremely expensive and something else no one is talking about

and that is most seniors' minds aren't as sharp as they used to be, of course there are exceptions.

I'm taking my soon to be 80 yo mom as an example, there is no way she could handle the coupon/voucher system. She has at least 5 doctors she sees, not counting specialty practices. She'd not only be confused as all hell but she'd never be able to keep up. She has problem balancing her checkbook. I'm sure she's not the only one.

Of course kids would be the ones that need to keep track but not every senior has this luxury. What about them? Who takes care of them?

This is not fair to people like my mom.
