How America is failing its elders

from Urban Affairs · host Jack Craver

America is increasingly handing off care of our elders to private equity-backed longterm care facilities. Judy Karofsky, author of "Diselderly Conduct: The Flawed Business of Assisted Living and Hospice" says it's only going to get worse. We also reminisce on her colorful political life, including the time she was the ONLY woman mayor in Wisconsin (Middleton!) and why she enjoys living among young people in old age.
