“The government has long been permitted to seek reimbursement for healthcare services by attaching the assets of deceased Medicaid enrollees” but I am skeptical about this without more details.

Our state has long time attached the houses and bank accounts of the elderly. Been here 40 years.... at least for the past 25 or 30.
This still makes it easy to foot your medical bills to the state.
Say you ran up a few hundred K in medical+ nursing home bills, you can still sign a check giving your money away before death and the taxpayers are out of luck.
