State Medicaid offices target dead people's homes to recoup their health care costs

15. Medicaid is aid

you are supposed to exhaust all other resources to pay. Same with "welfare" for the poor. You can't earn too much money, you can't own too many things, you can't own nice things. It is yet another way the system keeps the poor poor. I think it is also true of most long term care insurance policies (although there is usually a provision if the family caregiver lives in the house for the last two years - although that may be a state law that varies from state to state).

Remember, unless you are part of the inherited wealth pseudo aristocracy that isn't supposed to exist in this country, inheriting any wealth is against the American way so it shouldn't be allowed
