It’s a difficult responsibility during a time of grieving. Your Dad was a thoughtful man.

This isn’t even welfare state, it is clawfare state.
The huge irony is that most church charities could do vastly better, given the resources.
The church really flubbed it big time when it gave into being snookered into outsourcing charity to Caesar, and it doesn’t matter how big a mail room Caesar has, it ain’t obligated to glorify God like churches are.
One obvious opportunity dropped here is the opportunity to show Christ. When Christ gives charity He doesn’t “claw it back.”
We have a lot of sobering up to do as churches and as a country methinks. The piper has come for his vigorish.

Remember when Medicare and Medicaid was supposed to be an asset to cover medical expenses in old age ?
We paid a mandatory tax percentage out of our salary for those expenses.
Now , under Obama , Social Security , Medicare , and Medicaid now becomes an estate liability.,
because all the politicians looted the Social Security "lock box" and are now short on money ,
and have found a new way to loot the population.
What was already paid into the "lock box" is all gone through wrecklass fiscal irresponsibility by politicians,
and now heirs are expected to pick up the slack .

Why would she want to leave anything to the deadbeat!!
I always thought my mother had the right idea that her will would be, “being of sound mind I spent it all”.

it’s only an estate liability if you can afford to pay it back...and if you can afford to pay it back, why did you spend our money rather than your own in the first place?
medicaid was supposedly for indigent people who needed care, not to preserve your estate.

Here in Florida, if a welfare recipient wins the lottery, their winnings are garnished for the amount they have taken over the years...............

Nobody. The man was indigent, dead broke and died broke. The government trying to charge a mourning relative millions of dollars just shows how beneath contempt the government really is.

I know. My question was addressed to someone who seemed to think he/his estate had that much.

There was a story a little while back where the IRS was trying to force other family members to pay back what they claimed the dead parents owed.
It’s crazy.
