[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your dad is smart to do this. In many states the Medicaid nursing homes are really good and in some states Medicaid can be used to pay for in-home care. Why would you pay for this stuff yourself when the government can pay for it? Does your dad pay for his doctors out of pocket just because he has the money or does he have Medicare pay for it? I assume he has Medicare pay for it. This is not putting the government "on the hook" any more than having Medicare pay for heart surgery is putting the government "on the hook." Your dad would be be taking advantage of programs he is legally entitled to. If Congress did not want people doing this, they could extend the lookback period. [/quote] How is hiding your assets to get Medicaid morally acceptable but working under the table and getting food stamps morally unacceptable for people here ?[/quote]
