It's going to have to be a tax rise such as the idea of taxing inheritance to pay for the care received.
The tax rise is the easy option. I prefer to stand back, stop non-essential spending and then make a decision on how to spend the money you've saved. Taxing people into oblivion drives the wealthier overseas, which means that those remaining pay more still.
