"Since 1965, the Medicaid program has kept nursing homes from requesting or requiring contributions from residents’ families. Adult children have never been legally responsible for their parents’ nursing home care under Medicaid. That provision disappears if Medicaid is repealed."

I wonder how many Freepers know the Republican budget would put a lien on their homes and bank accounts to pay for Grandma's nursing home.
