2. My wife, a psychologist, has been sick at heart for years about the "qualifications"

for some of her patients to get into nursing homes.

It is some kind of medieval, sack cloth and ashes ritual. You must be dirt poor. It probably helps to divorce your spouse. You live in your room, because any kind of charitable gift counts as "income" against your pittance of a government payment.

Sadly, this has been going on for decades. Its not new.
