That is absolutely not what happens.
The article states, and I know it to
Be true, that the state does not get
The money except that the state makes
A claim against an estate is if the
Deceased was a Media-Cal recipient.
Then a percentage of what the state
Paid in benefits is taken. The remainder
Goes to the heirs. If there is no will
The next of kin is the recipient.
