The only lens I see through is that you either pay for yourself using your own assets, choosing the level of care and quality of institution as your assets allow - or if you have no assets then the government steps in and you wind up in a Medicaid (or similar) place.

Are you saying you should be able to keep your assets and still have government pay for your care?

No ... I'm saying end of life care should not be designed to impoverish even modestly well-to-do people, thereby suppressing their ability to pass on their wealth to their offspring. I believe the US is extraordinarily ineffective in delivering affordable healthcare (and education) at all ages, in dramatic contrast to many other developed countries. Musk and others are perverse examples of this imbalance. It's complicated but demonstrably achievable if there's a will to do it, even though it may require standing up to oligarchic demands for lower taxes on themselves.
