[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can this possibly be constitutional? We certainly don't require children to pay their parents' debts beyond the value of the parent's estate. Where is the incentive to behave responsibly? Heck, when your kid turns 18, could you just say you are really depressed and can't work and require them to get a job and support you? [b]Also, isn't it standard practice for the elderly to spend down their assets and then go on Medicare to fund nursing homes[/b]? [/quote] I know that this is what happened with my grandmother, who lives in PA. she has 7 living children, 6 of them in PA, but the state hasn't sued them for support.[/quote] Except I believe its Medicaid not Medicare that kicks in after the assets are spent down.[/quote] Correct. And Medicare doesn't cover nursing homes at all.[/quote]
