It's not a matter of blame, it's a matter of knowing what your consequences are going to be.<br /><br />In such cases you are better off going to a private exchange. Unfortunately the Obamacare site does not tell you this. And then people are stuck.<br /><br />There's no "hate" in wanting to protect your hard-earned assets.

Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (OBRA ‘93)5 required states to implement a Medicaid estate recovery program. This is not a new issue...and there seems to be some cases where your assets might get billed --since you were supposed to be POOR in the first place. It's nothing Obama did, folks.<br />This is not some new and evil provision of more government.

Federal law mandates that states collect this from your estate.<br /><br />Even if you can stay healthy until age 65 when Medicare kicks in, your estate will still owe. That's because in Illinois, Medicaid puts you into managed care for which the State pays a per-member per-month amount in your name.<br /><br />You can read the Tribune article about all this here: http://www.dailynewsen.com/business/some-illinois-medicaid-patients-assets-at-risk-h2418203.html (need a password otherwise to read it on the Trib site)<br /><br />Good luck.trunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05818532721396092949noreply@blogger.com
