“Be careful, if you are between 55-64, the STATE will go after your Estate for ALL COSTS they paid after you die. They will make your surviving spouse homeless and take everything you OWNED.”

Not entirely correct.

(1) Those seniors who are over 65 with BOTH Medi-Care and Medi-Cal (yes, some do!) are still subject to asset recovery on their Medi-Cal benefits used. So those who are over age 55 to infinity are subject to asset recovery with Medi-Cal.
(2) Although the State has the authority to seize your assets, it doesn’t mean that it will. But you are certainly rolling the dice by joining Medi-Cal after age 55.
(3) The surviving spouse is exempted from asset recovery until he or she dies. So it’s not the surviving spouse that gets screwed. It’s their kids or heirs to the estate.

I believe this asset recovery law will get tested in the court system since it is blatant age discrimination. Why should someone over 55 be subject to Medi-Cal asset recovery after they die when they are FORCED into Medi-Cal by virtue of their income under ObolaCare while those UNDER 55 are not subject to the same asset recovery for Medi-Cal benefits used??? Totally unfair and blatant discrimination. The legislators passed a law that would have remedied this discrimination, but Jerry Clown vetoed it, thereby screwing all FORCED Medi-Cal recipients over 55. So thank Mr. Clown for this unfairness.

Be careful, if you are between 55-64, the STATE will go after your Estate for ALL COSTS they paid after you die. They will make your surviving spouse homeless and take everything you OWNED.
