I know of two verifiable cases where when the patients, who were on Medicare and, died the guberment came in a took everything from the family to cover the bills. One was my uncle. They striped the bank accounts and put a large lien on the property. The same on a guy behind me. They put a large lien on the property for more than the property is worth.
So putting everyone on Medicare is only a ruse that enables the guberment to steal your property.
