[quote=Anonymous]It's a common move in cases like this to make a person as poor as possible so Medicaid/Medicare will cover the health expenses. I don't think you necessarily need to divorce, but it's definitely a known move to transfer assets to other family members to get coverage for health care. I seem to remember my father talking about a 5-year rule in that the benefits only kick in if the assets were transferred more than five years earlier. I'm not entirely sure how something like divorce would be handled but the Medicaid/Medicare folks do look back to see what you've been doing with your money.[/quote]
