Or we could just you know, invest into this since all of us will be old some day and some of us may, even after a life time of contribution, could face unlucky circumstances that leave us alone in the end?
What's wrong with dignity for other people, I feel like trying to maximize for monetary profit is going to be our downfall.
Unfortunately, the people with the power to "invest in this" will not ever be in the situation that the rest of us will be. Most "real" people are more worried about how their children will live with not enough time left over to deal with how their parents will die.
This is just one of many issues. We are coming apart at the seams in our society in so many ways that by solving one issue we must ignore another. There is so much poor investment across the board. It's tragic but I fear we are so far off the rails now that perhaps none of it can't be saved.

Facilities where the family pays aren't going to get away with mistreatment, because the family will choose a different facility.
