Both my mother and my partner's mother have dementia, which requires a much higher level of care than someone in a vegetative state. His mother, who is California, costs about 7 grand a month. My mother, who is in Georgia, costs roughly half that, although her condition is worse. Dan's mother is also now in acute liver failure. She's a retired school teacher and her medical care is covered by a plan with Kaiser that is paid for by premiums deduced from her pension check.
At the current rate, a million dollars would cover his mom for 10 years or my mom for 20. Not sure where you're getting your numbers, but they don't jive with reality as I am experiencing it here. You wanna burn through some money, try calculating the cost of cancer treatment when a single daily pill costs 300 dollars.
