I read that after your death Medicare can place a LIEN on your house!

Bet the sheeple don’t know that...

Also I know many on Ocare have sizeable investments but that those assets aren’t considered in the formulae to obtain said Ocare.

So keep pulling that wagon; millions depend upon you...

I didn't know that; thanks for the warning. I'm not surprised. The govt will get as much out of you, often involuntarily, that they can. I've been paying a really high tax bill for several years now until this year.

I have one sizeable investment and would rather not be on Obamacare. It is dreadful. I almost wish I didn't have to be on Medicare anyway.

My daughter has a sizeable investment from which she gets so much a month from a broker investing it for her. I told her to make sure, but she still can stay on Medicaid for her and her son because it's based on monthly income. Also food stamps.

There are not going to get any out of me for a couple years because I am trying to save my investment, and I haven't sold any grain all last year. I will have a huge NOL which will carry forward as will I don't know how many other farmers. They are all waiting for grain prices to go up because there are two years of record yields; IOW a glut. It's abysmal to try to keep up with it all. You know you should be thankful, and are, but when you realize just how vulnerable you still are, there's no sense of security.

You’re confusing Medicaid with Medicare.

Medicaid has eligibility limits, if assets larger than allowable are later discovered any given state may go after them, after the fact.

Medicare (the feds are the sole payer of the benefits) only goes after people with personal injury settlements or payments when they were the primary payer of the bills but should have been a secondary payer.

MediCAID is a state welfare with all of its associated rules, MediCARE is a federal “entitlement” qualified for by sufficient quarters of employment taxes paid. Two entirely different things.

Wrong-—that’s Medicaid. Big difference.
