What this means is that if you are on Medicaid - as a lot will now be thanks to expanded enrollment - and you are 55 or older, your state now has a claim on your estate. You or your heirs are expected to repay your Medicaid benefits.

So who pays for them then?

If someone has assets to use for their care should not then they take the responsibility and do so? Or let the tax payers pickup the tab and any assets, insurance go to heirs? Just how is that right I ask you.

It's nothing new. When my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimers my Dads private insurance, Aetna IIRC, got her off the policy with blinding speed.

(I suppose that is just peachy with people who feel it's fine-n-dandy to get bent over and screwed by private interests.)

So, my older brothers were told the only way to proceed was to either self pay which is prohibitively expensive (We are not the Walton family.), or see that all of her assets disappear and sign her up for Medicaid.

Guess what we did?

And before you get started; Eat me. We're not going bankrupt because it satisfies anyone's twisted and goofy conservative values.
