Elderly parent is on Medicaid in nursing home, will they lose financing?

Just curious what will happen to elderly 71 year old disabled parent who is medicaid in a nursing home. We pay nothing. Would she lose her spot in a nursing home?

Im not sure I understand your question? If she’s there, and Medicaid is paying, what makes you think they’d stop? Your relative, at their age, also has Medicare

Medicare doesn’t pay for nursing homes.

No. Your parent’s situation will not change. The doomsday press has been spreading so many lies.

What is the question?

71 is very young to be in a nursing home. She is not elderly. I am assuming she is otherwise disabled, as opposed to being elderly, so that is likely what will impact her status.

They will stop paying her nursing home fee. Why she is even in a nursing home at this age is the question-it might be from a long term disability, not related to age (?)

Stay tuned. Overspending by the GOP will trigger automatic cuts in Medicare.

Government has been overspending for over a century.
Government will continue to overspend until it all crashes. Fiat currency be like it be.

I am not understanding the question. We don't know if they will cut long-term care medicaid to pay for nursing homes or not. If they did, not sure what their plan would be to care for all these people.

No one knows. I saw one estimate 1 in 4 nursing homes will close because of reduced Medicaid payments.

Do you think they care?
Letting them die reduces mandatory outlays They got no plan for school aftercare, food for hungry kids. They just repeat they are taking it away from illegals.

My spouse is an executive VP in the LTC business. They are not panicking yet. But everyone acknowledges that
Funding may be lost. If that happens your relative will be evicted if that is their payor source. And if the home shuts down, there won’t be any chance of them being forced to keep people who don’t/can’t pay. Thing is that this is an evolving situation and no one knows what will be affected. But the places that will be hit the hardest are those with insufficient private pay to cover the losses.

Medicare does not cover SNF's, hence the need for supplemental insurance. Medicaid pays (a pittance) for most residents in America. I'd be very worried about continued coverage for our most vunerable
