We should be building robots to do it. Remember Asimo from the early 2000s? Whatever happened to that guy? Make it happen

Yeah, that's not going to happen. Republicans are going to look to cut the total budget, in which elderly care is a large part of the budget. Democrats have a younger demographic, so I see them pushing to expand health care access to everyone, not just the elderly.

We're sooner going to ship the elderly to developing countries to care for. Hell, if Cuba and the US ever normalize relations, I can see tons of American retirement communities in Cuba.
