Shared hospitalization care

Allow family members to provide bedside care (non medication administration) to family members hospitalized. By allowing family members to help care, bath, feed, and provide patient advocacy during their stay in the hospital. This would reduce the amount of nursing assistance care needed per patient, and help reduce the labor costs for the hospitals. Family members in many cultures feel it is part of their culture to assist the afflicted family member during their illness. By allowing this practice cost savings coudl be passed on the the whol healthcare system.
With this healthcare plan offered to family members a reduction of helathcare insurance plans could be cafeteria style options and offerings with reduced payment options with family healthcare participation. thus reducing monthly papyment plans for healthcare insurance options. This may allow lower income families to afford healthcare plans for thier family members.
