Medicaid is exactly what is desired by the designers of the PPACA.
Google: “Medicaid+after+you+die”
Everything you’ve ever done in your life is confiscated by the authorities when you die. It’s a reverse mortgage on steroids and crack because it’s about your entire estate not just property.
Your children and heirs GET NOTHING!
It isn’t ‘taking’ for taking’s sake. They are recouping costs from providing care for that person.
Personally, I am against the hiding of assets to qualify for Medicaid. Children/heirs have nothing to do with it IMO.
