[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm sorry you're going through this. I don't understand how states can regulate access to Medicaid. Isn't this a federal program? Or do the states chip in at different rates, hence the waitlists?[/quote] Medicaid is state. Medicare is federal. Medicaid provides far more in terms of nursing home care but you have to meet the financial guidelines. [/quote] No, medicaid is administered by the states but gets federal money. There are several kinds of medicaid in most states. There is a special one that pays for nursing homes. Medicare pays far more but you can only get a nursing home stay for a limited time via a hospitalization. Medicaid pays long term. No there are no wait lists. Its income qualified. There are waitlists for waiver programs, such as assisted living.[/quote]
