Probably no copay, premium or deductible.  Yes, I believe they are covered for the rest of their lives.\n\nSo unfair.

The system as it exists today forces families to place their elderly loved ones in nursing homes.  It is a racket.  If my mother would have been allowed to pay me just half what medicaid is having to pay the nursing home I could have afforded to quit my job and stay home so my mother could have continued to live with us.  Instead as law dictates, when she required more care than we could offer while remaining employed she was forced to go to a nursing home where in just 4 months all of her life savings was depleted.  Now that she is flat broke medicaid will take over paying the nursing home.  Of course it is not a nice posh facility because they want more than medicaid.  My mother has Alzheimer's and it is terrible that she is now surrounded by strangers in a strange place.  The problem I see isn't that medicaid wont pay enough it is that the laws about how she could choose to spend her own money for care are to strict and skewed in nursing facilities favor over family.

I am poor and worked hard all my life.  Now retired, can't get Medicaid or Medicare because I retired at 62 (after working for 46 years), adopted my grandson because his Mom is ill and Dad deserted them, can't get dental care for him because Medicaid won't pay dentists enough in this great state of Missouri, have $787 a month to live on.  Yet illegals can come in and get all kinds of help. Boy, does the gov't have their priorities screwed up.\n\nMa_isa, what makes you think anyone is joking? And I hardly think spending $10 or $15 a month for the internet is  living large. I personally bought my computer out of my tax refund four years ago while I was still working, before I adopted my grandson. Illegals get all kinds of stuff just handed to them without having to earn any of it. So, my dear, go suck a lemon.\n\nDe_rak, the reason you don't get it is because the illegals do. lol. (Yes, I knew what you meant.  Just couldn't resist the play on words there.)

get over it. This is why health care is so damn expensive, they all have to pay insurance against frivolous and stupid law suits.  grow up and stop looking for an easy buck.

I am a Medical worker and know this much.  It would not be considered income, but could possibly be considered property.  There is a 2000.00 property limit, but you could invest her income in an annuity or something like that and that would be considered property.  You could also use the money to pay off old debts, purchase a home, car, etc....just save the receipts.  There is a time she has to spend down the money.  If it is just Medicare she is on and not Medicaid, there may be no property limit, and she may be fine.  I would contact the social security office and ask or check out the website.  Also, alot of people dont know, if she is below the 2000.00 property limit, Medicaid or Medical will pay her "buy in" premium for Medicare, thus meaning she would be taking home the 88.50 that she spends for Medicare.  All kinda confusing, but worth it.  Good luck.

I have had a devastating illness in the family. I am a Citizen. I did NOT receive help for my son. Just a kiss off. The programs are bloated with people who should NOT even qualify but by false documentation or the rules of that state of not being ALLOWED to ask if they are legal citizens take away from the LEGAL CITIZENS who have paid into the system for years. I know I am blessed my son is still alive there are sooooo many others who have lost their child through inadequate medical care due to money constraints.

I am for neither, I am 45 yrs of age, it seems to me that this Country is in some serious Crap. We/USA are always more concerned with other Countries and their well being. The USA is not taking care of their own people first, as they should be. We have many, many people in our own country that is homeless, going hungry, etc. Yes there are a few programs out there that are trying to help, but come on, all that food and medical that other Countries are getting, why not give it to our country first where it is so desperately needed. Medical in the USA is crazy, I have to work 2 jobs at 32 hours a week for each, yes i am correct here on the hours, i get very little sleep and am getting burned out. just so i can have medical, one medical plan does not cover what i would like it to, so i have to have another medical plan to try and make up for the first one. Now how crazy is that? You asked me whom I am standing up for? believe in? well no one has earned my belief yet. I hope the future changes that.

Hi, I live in Ohio, near the lake, not far from Canada...\nAlot of people in this country have an insurance system that involves partial private pay and premiums taken out of your paycheck, much like a tax off the top. Very few have fully paid medical care anymore; most have either an individual or family "co-pay," which means depending on the insurance plan, a person could pay $500 (US) or more before insurance starts picking up the bill. In the US we also have Medicare or Medicaid that picks up for people over a certain age (like Medicare) or for people who are disabled and/or destitute or meet certain financial criteria (i.e. Medicaid.) There is also help available for families who have disabled or handicapped children. Most people of retirement age and others that would meet the traditional risk categories for something like a stroke would probably qualify for this if they don't already have some insurance through their retirement benefits. Unfortunately for most of these plans criteria is usually set so that for others who could medically and financially benefit they "slip through the crack." I know from both personal experience as well as from others that if you have something that isn't very serious that you try to treat it yourself and avoid the high medical bill even if you have insurance. For those who are uninsured or underinsured and don't qualify, if they have a tragic accident or sudden illness, they go to the hospital and damn the consequences. Most people would go to save themselves or their families lives, and then either force the hospital to write it off as bad debt, or pay what they can when they can, or file bankruptcy...

We are NOT all fine. There are people who cannot are refused health care because an illegals got there first. Auto insurance is higher than it should be because illegals don't pay for it. Apartments and home rentals are higher because of the inflated demand caused by illegals. America is suffering in many ways as a result of these illegals.
