TIL of Dr.Charles K. Kaoβ€”Father of Fiber Optics, who decided to retire in the US, was later diagnosed with Alzheimer disease, and had to use the money from his Nobel Prize to pay medical debt.

I just read his biography, and I don't know what to say. Despite all of his ground breaking work and achievements, he still was not able to afford healthcare in this country. What chances do we have if major changes aren't made before we retire?
