The cost varies by state, but an average cost of long-term care in a nursing home is $60,000. That's why it is wise to get Long-Term Care insurance or LTC at or around age 65,â¦ when still active and the cost is low.
More than 100 of California's Death Row inmates have died in the last 40 years. Barely one in 10 were executed.
The problem is perhaps most stark in California, which has the countryâs largest death row but rarely carries out executions. Mitchell, the attorney, found that the yearly cost of housing and medical care for the stateâs death row inmates comes to $184 million. She said that death penalty proponents have long argued that replacing the punishment with life without parole would force the state to pay the medical costs of elderly inmates, but this is now happening anyway.
