The Care Lottery Is Rigged

AI generated collage: postcode lottery map, care home day room, coins leaking into briefcase, empty care trolley, elderly woman counting coins

England's social care is a lottery — and the odds are rigged. Two neighbouring towns, identical on paper, differ by 60% in who gets care. The state underpays, self-funders pay 40% more for identical rooms, private equity extracts a tenth of the sector's revenue, and the poorest places lose care first. The women the state already betrayed on pensions are being asked to pay again. This is the evidence Westminster keeps ignoring. #UKSocialCare #UKCareCrisis #UKPolitics #SocialCare #CareHomes #PrivateEquity #WASPI #ElderlyCare
