She doesn’t want his medical bills taking her cushy home, so she wants the taxpayers of America to take care of those bills. It does seem to be about money!
The irony is that this illustrates one of the biggest lies about government health care. Medicare / Medicade requires you to burn through all of your own assets before they will pay for long term / nursing home type care. And I thought govt. health care was supposed to prevent an illness or injury from bankrupting you.
