but are you saying that you feel home health is a superior option than self-help? Considering that most seniors (let alone Medicare beneficiaries) can't afford home health, this seems like a stretch. That's like saying that you believe Lamborghini's are superior to Ford Fiestas. Can (should?) the government buy Lambo's for everyone?
