I read this here before and read the article at the link which says :

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.

No, if you are in the hospital without insurance, the hospital signs you up for Medicaid and Medicaid pays your bill and seizes your property. The seizure is up to leaving you with 1500 and a car in some states.

Our state has long time attached the houses and bank accounts of the elderly. Been here 40 years.... at least for the past 25 or 30.
