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.
