If he was approved to be on Medicaid, then he didn’t have it in the first place.................

If someone has that kind of resources, they sure as heck ain’t gonna be going to some state institution for car....................

“The notarized bill, sent to Rose’s estate in March, was for paid Medicaid assistance from August 2002 up to Rose’s death.

The state agency is demanding to be paid the staggering amount if Luke prevails in her suit and is awarded punitive damages.”

The state is insane...

i tend to agree with you, but if he comes into a sudden windfall, say a winning lottery ticket, or successful lawsuit, why shouldn’t the taxpayers get their money back?
the lawsuit is supposedly for damages, and it’s the taxpayers who are damaged. sounds like the family might be looking =for a windfall of their own.

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 .
