Already repealed in Washington and Oregon except for long-term care expenses. Possibly other states, too.
Ironically, if you’re FPL is that low, you’re not really going to have a lot of “estate” for the goobermint to take from you.
Pennsylvania has had this “estate recovery” for medicaid for 20 years.
So if parents have been placed on a state Medicaid roll, the house, car or other assets they had intended leaving to their children will be attached by that state upon their death. A lien will be filed and full payment for those “free” healthcare services provided from the date of enrollment until the time of death will be confiscated from any available estate holdings.
I have been hollerin’ about this for months! Thank goodness people are noticing. Right now the age is 55. By fiat it could be 45, 35 or 25. This is the largest asset stealing in the history of the world.
And for all you toots who start pontificating about how people should pay their bills, well if the market forces were at work the bills would be affordable, but in this artificially propped market where CAT scans that cost 2000 dollars should be 100, no one should be forced to pay the inflated prices.
CA’s Gov. Moonbeam signed a law that requires ‘’domestic’’ workers to be paid time-and-a-half after 8 hrs. The folks that have looked after my Mom typically work 48 hours (with workmans compensation, medical benefitw, etc) and now they’re stuck with 8hrs. Their drive expenses have ‘bout trippled and the time they get to spend at home with family is reduced. My Moms costs are heading to 150 K from about 120.
Intended concequences??
GGRRRRR
The elimination of inherited wealth is a plank of communism.
Their CHOICE of buying their own medical insurance that might cover their expenses AND allow them to pass their assets to heirs has been taken away.
“The government has long been permitted to seek reimbursement for healthcare services by attaching the assets of deceased Medicaid enrollees” but I am skeptical about this without more details.
Exactly under what circumstances has this happened?
Medicaid denies payments to those with financial assets.
Socialism Is Legal Plunder - Bastiat (don’t believe him? Look at your paycheck and calculate the taxes still paid with the money you are left with after the government has taken its large share upfront for the socialist schemes)…
…and now they want more…and more…and more.
Above all, if you wish to be strong, begin by rooting out every particle of socialism that may have crept into your legislation. - Bastiat
Repeal the lie, “Affordable”? “Care”? “Act”? TOTALITARIANCARE is FORCE, the key component of a tyrannical government.
EVERY ONE of these socialist schemes is built on the backs of DEAD Americans. A tax levied for the creation of a socialist scheme is not sustainable unless more FORCED payers die. The ghoulish socialists are about forcing plunder. Now they’ve included death sentences and looting the graves of the deceased.
Socialist schemes at the bottom in red…here…
It’s alwya been the case in California.
If you get Medical (Medicaid) medical service when you die the State gets refunded any thing they spent from any of your assets.
Pure greed.
