What I mean is, that say Grandma has 40k to her name. She goes in a nursing home.

The current rules require that she completely impoverish herself before they pay a dime.

IOW, not a thing to kids, charities, etc.

Awww, now Sauropod. COM'ON! LOL! You can't be really saying the following:

1..Let's say that *I* have 40K and go into a nursing
home.
2. I give my kids the 40K.
3. The taxpayers (you, too) pay for my nursing home care.

I wouldn't do that, and I don't think you would, either. Why should my kids get the money, and the taxpayers pick up the bill?

(You don't mean it, I KNOW you don't)
