True about Medicaid. That’s not insurance.


As I understand it Midicaid is an entitlement with a twist. If you get put on it they ‘can’ put a lien on your property and estate to ‘repay’ them back for all of the funds used on you for medical purposes.

Another form of generational theft and the inability to leave your descendents any sort of inheritance.

“Another form of generational theft and the inability to leave your descendents any sort of inheritance.”

“From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs.” (Based on recent events that must be in the United States Constitution, although I haven’t found the exact passage yet.)

I heard that is only if you accept Medicaid between ages 55 and 65.

And I'm not opposed to it. I believe anyone who accepts means-tested entitlements (Mediaid, food stamps, etc., the ones that aren't earned like Medicaid, Social Security or veterans benefits) should have to pay back the value of whatever they take when and if they can. As long as they're told upfront what they're getting into and sign onto it, which I believe they are in the case of Medicaid.
