The gal I had post on here about Mike's predicament worked for 14 years in Arizona helping seniors apply for Medicaid benefits and helping spouses get into nursing homes. These people were destitute, some having had no AC in their homes for years to save on costs, going without meals, etc.
California is much different. She now works part time for an attorney in Tarzana helping clients apply for Medicaid who have already gone through the process with the attorney of hiding millions in assets so their heirs will have an "inheritance". Meanwhile, the taxpayers shoulder the costs of these peoples care.
I see no reason why someone's assets should not be diminished for long term care before Medicaid payments kick in.
