My sister, on the other hand, is saying that if my mother is granted VA benefits, she would lose her Medicare/Medicaid because she would make too much money, and that would financially put her into a big debt hole, thereby requiring for my sister to have to fork out funds on my mom's behalf out of her own pocket. Also, if my mother was able to keep her Medicare/Medicaid, AND get the VA benefits, then anything over $52 each month would be confiscated by the nursing home.
That's all mind-blowing crazy. If she just goes with what she gets from Medicare/Medicaid, and doesn't go over $52 in her bank account, she's fine. But if gets VA benefits, then the Medicare/Medicaid gets cut off, and the VA benefits wouldn't be enough to cover the shortfall.
Typical government idiocy.
You don’t have to tell me about the Medicare/Medicaid “scam,” I had to deal with it during my mother’s last few years when she was in a nursing home.
Well, we'll continue to pray for you and your family, and God might sort out the government weasels for you.
