A long term care bed at a nursing home costs anywhere between $5500 to $20000 monthly. There are many rich, retired people who would have their finances depleted in a few years with a cost that high.

The average middle class individual would never be able to afford that so the fall back is usually medicaid.

I find that in many cases, if you actually click the link to find the sourced information, it's not there. I've experienced this with nearly every LLM front-end platform.

Can I access it via Eternity app? Is it basically another instance?

We generally attribute discoveries to whoever documented it first. It's almost laughable to attribute it to the French based on a kissing style that was widespread there in 1923. Surely people were doing it before then. Yet, the Americans and British found it so unique they referred to it as French kissing.

Perhaps it was common before ancient India, but then the question is, why didn't the ancient Babylonians, Egyptians, Chinese, Romans, and Greek document on it then?
