So if I have £86,000 and need to go into care, I can choose somewhere that costs that each month? Then what? As there is to be a £86,000 lifetime cap, I wouldn't have to pay anything else for the same level of service. There will still have to a cap on funding, as there is now.

Unless in addition to the value of their house(ie not home, consult a dictionary), people have a surplus of £86,000 in assets, they will have to sell it anyway, which is what people are whinging about.
What's going to happen in 20 years time when the costs will have more than doubled?
