My aunt was in a nursing home.
In early January a podiatrist came in to treat each resident’s feet.
“I’m sure the pols and bureaucrats are scraping at least 10% of payouts off the top.”
The workers union has people who collect campaign contributions and inform the members of the necessity of voting Democrat so the low-work scams can continue.
several years ago I got hurt kiteboarding... Stepped on a stingray barb... I didnt have insurance so I looked into Medicaid per the hospital’s suggestion. When I found out if you die, Medicaid comes after your house for repayment, I chucked the idea and cashed out the hospital visit.
with white people, medicaid is not your friend...
“Stop ANY Medicaid payouts to ILLEGAL INVADERS, immediately.”
The payments are usually handed out based on the US birth of a child.
However, the actual risk of Mommy or Daddy Invader dying due to medical causes when the child is under 18 is small.
NY State clawed back $1955 from my uncle’s estate for Medicaid help for reasons I don’t know in detail.
If care was paid for at the Medicaid rate rather than the normal NY market rate, he might have gotten a good deal.
In many states, Medicaid clawback is done for custodial care of older people.
THAT used to be called “FAMILY”.
Btt!
I got about a week's worth of FR ennui caught up early this morning, after running around on errands, then konking out in the chair in the late afternoon. I'm going to retool in the next little while, not going to spend this summer indoors. :^) That'll be a break for you.
Balance in life is good - that said, don’t stay too far away or for too long. We’d learn how much we’d miss you.
Therefore, savings realized by cutting waste, fraud and abuse will total$1.936 trillion.
When I was caring for my Dad, it took me 5 YEARS to LEGITIMATELY spend down his assets (about $10K in a languishing old IRA; he owned no property by that time and had no car or other assets) and they were total STICKLERS about him having no more than $2K in assets at ANY time of the month before they would sign him up for Medicaid.
God Bless the staff at the ADRC! (Aging and Disability Resource Center) If anyone needs legitimate help in getting a loved one signed up for benefits, start there. There is an ADRC office in just about every COUNTY across the land.
They are doing God’s Work!
Thanks:
