England’s crumbling adult social care system is in dire need of overhaul, but funding it is a political minefield. With millions relying on unpaid family caregivers and many paying tens of thousands—or even selling homes—to cover costs, solutions like a universal NHS-style care or lifetime payment caps face steep hurdles.

No one agrees how—or who—should pay.
