Make the look back on finances back 25 years. Right now I have neighbor in their early 70’s transferring their money into their kids name so if they go to a nursing home, Medicaid will pay. Others are putting it into an irrevocable trust so again they get free nursing home living. Or at worst lose their social security checks.

The problem with your solution is that some people for those 25 years will spend all their extra money and then get Medicaid to pay for their nursing home stay. While others who instead gift their extra money for those 25 years to their kids would not get medicaid.

Who are you to determine that the spender gets free care while the gifter doesn't.

It’s welfare for both situations.
