It is sad, but it is the natural consequences of collectivized healthcare costs. If Australia were “backwards” and it was solely the responsibility of the family to care for it’s own, then it would be non of their business and they wouldn’t have any reason to care.

It is also “sad” for small families with handicapped children to have no help, and even sadder if the parents find themselves growing old with no idea how their mentally retarded child is going to live.

So it seems that “sad” is and inevitable part of life and there is no perfect set of government policies that will eliminate that.
