It a bit complicated but I posted a link back here: #35

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.

uh-uh. In our state they used to go back three years and now go back 7 years I think. The attorney says that I am to expect at least a 10 year look back in estate planning.

No not really.

You still get docked for expenses by Medicare going out 5 years before your death. The people who you gave money to would be responsible for the bill.
