Are your parents in a nursing home paid by Medicaid? Are you concerned the program will get cut?

The government is never going to toss people with Alzheimer's and no money onto the street to die so this is all just fear mongering.

Are you aware of how difficult it is to obtain Medicaid? If it is put into a block grant, there is going to be no way that there will be enough money for all those in need.

They already do, many of them are veterans.

Popularity is no longer an issue. We may have had our last free election, and the lies will be that much worse. Media won’t be allowed to show what’s happening to those people. Again, if your family has anyone relying on federal dollars for anything, you need a plan B immediately

Exactly. Haven’t seen many even among the homeless.

Dp. Not it’s not. I just got my state’s version of Medicaid for my newly arrived father. It was a 3 month wait but it wasn’t hard.

I think OP is suggesting that there will not be "Medicaid nursing homes," not how will they get admitted.

The hospitals aren’t going to just evict ppl into the street. Certainly not at 70+ and nursing care level

Look, I grew up in a country that went through an unimaginable social collapse when I was a teen. Old ppl weren’t thrown into the streets to die though. Some were scammed out of their homes but most somehow made it. Family and hospitals took care of them. It may not have been great care but it was something. I am sure we will all survive though we may need to tolerate our elderly at our homes for a while.

Fear mongering liberals. I remember it from the 70#.

They've already been caught doing it. Once they can't bill for the room, medicare is not paying indefinitely, they are going to discharge

Varies from state to state. Assuming you are not in a rock rib red one. But I appreciate your anecdata.

So where will they stay if they no longer need hospital-level care?

And how does that work when both parents need to go to work?

Are you looking in their tents and sleeping bags?

My friend ended up locking her mother in the house and turning off the gas stove because she and her spouse had to work, kids were in daycare, and there were no Medicaid beds.
