Just a thought: If it is costing so much per day for discharged borders who need assistance by family members that have not come forward, in order for them leave the hospital, wouldn't it be cost effective to pay properly vetted families that could convert hospital borders to borders in their private homes. Social services would need to qualify the people offering board for these patients and would have to do frequent home visits to be sure that the patient is being taken care of appropriately. This not only would alleviate some of the financial burden to the government, free up spaces in the hospital, but would also give some families additional income.
