In Ohio the state will allow a spouse of a recipient to stay in the home so as not to impoverish her/him, but when the home is vacated by the spouse it is auctioned or sold for recovery of assets. That's under existing law. IDK if or how Obamacare will change this. It is really not that unfair when you consider Medicaid is designed for impoverished people, not homeowners.

Medicaid is designed for impoverished people

That should be past tense :).

With the removal of the asset tests, we now have people who are not at all impoverished applying for and being accepted for Expanded Medicaid.
