[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a separate program and long term care Medicaid and not regular Medicaid.  Doubt they coul cut it as where would people go?[/quote]

Women will be expected to stay home.  [/quote]

As a woman I did this but at some point it is not manageable without help.  Long term Medicaid was our only option.  Most people cannot do it especially with young kids. [/quote]

The current system already penalizes adult children, often single women, who quit jobs in the prime earning years and move back home to take care of their parents. The kicker is that the parents' issues are so complicated that they may must move into a LTC facility. The house must be sold before the parent can receive Medicaid, so women in their 50s, 60s, 70s find themselves on the street without a home or a job.[/quote]
DP.
There are ways to keep the house, please don’t dramatize. 
I haven’t seen many women on the street unless they have mental health issues. [/quote]
