So if parents have been placed on a state Medicaid roll, the house, car or other assets they had intended leaving to their children will be attached by that state upon their death. A lien will be filed and full payment for those “free” healthcare services provided from the date of enrollment until the time of death will be confiscated from any available estate holdings.
Why should people who have no assets, either by being poor, or by spending every penny on new cars, new clothes though out life, get the same or better care FREE courtesy the US taxpayer, and not have a worry in the world?
