This is my question is which I cannot get an answer how is somebody who’s already on the government dole end up in an $8,000 a month nursing home?

It is 8k per month for paying middle class people, I don't know how much Medicaid pays.

Answer: the same way a shot gang banger with no money gets world-class surgical intervention to save him. The government pays for it, and mandates that the place accepted what they pay.

The irony is that since she has never had to earn anything for herself she is bitching about the place, the people and the food. My other SIL says it is a pretty good place, people are very nice and food is fine.

Her parents supported her and her 4 husbands with free houses and cars all her life. After my MIL died she burned through her inheritance and then had to sell her (free) house. Moved onto her sister’s property and lived in her late mother’s house while burning through the proceeds from the sale of her house. She has burned through a fortune over the years and is now destitute except for SS based on husband #2 income (not sure, about $1,200 a month), and Medicaid.

Found out the other day that she had a ring from her mother that was last appraised at about $17k in the late 70s which she pawned a couple of years ago for......$500 (for booze probably). My wife said that ring should have been worth considerably more than the 1970s appraisal.

Un-farkin-believable
