The other thing I am not comfortable with is the two tier care system. Those with the money will get better care than those without and, trust me on this, trying to find a good care home for those without funds is not easy. I also worry about what happens if you are still in care when your funds run out. Do they kick you out of the good care home that you helped to privately fund and put you in an underfunded one? Genuine question - I really don't know

I think it would be fairer all round if the property was left to the estate and inheritance tax was charged. That way, everyone can get the same care without losing their house and inheriting massive estates pay more than those with modest ones. Of course we know that is not the way bozzer and his cronies work.
