Cuts to Medicaid May Limit Access to Nursing Homes

[Moral Compass]

40. Both of my grandmothers were on Medicaid when they died

Both of my grandmothers were on Medicaid when they died. We did the spend down for my father's mother Nanny. My mother's mother gave me her last shares of IBM stock (which saved my ass as I had spent my student loan money for that semester on "other" things) and then she was able to get on Medicaid.

This cutting of Medicaid doesn't just affect those nasty, worthless poor people--it affects anyone who isn't very wealthy.

Spread the word. The Republicans are trying to surreptitiously screw over pretty much all of us.

Medicare doesn't pay for nursing home care. The chances are close to 100% that you'll be on Medicaid before your life is done.

Again, spread the word.

(By the way, my two Senators are Cornyn and Cruz and my representative is Crypt Keeper Sam Johnson so I won't be spending a lot of time on the phone. The never respond. Their constituents are the corporations and lobbyists that give them money, buy them dinner, and take them on junkets. The rest of us are the sheep that never seem to figure it out.)
