AMERICA IS Under Siege

Exactly, Gmen, same happened with my uncle, I was also his representative payee. Medicare / Medicaid system is designed to apply all their assets and after they'll pay the rest. A Will means nothing unless assets are legally protected beforehand (5) years currently I believe, at least that's what it was in 2015 in this case.

You're absolutely correct CT. In Sept 2022 my younger brother had to go into a nursing facility because of health reasons. One of the first questions on the admission form was "What assets does he have"? Since he didn't have any tangible assets except for SS the facility could only take that every month. After he passed away in December 2022 friends thought that they would come after me, I was his POA and Rep Payee for many years, for payment of his existing medical bills.

The hospital, Doctors and nursing facility were left holding the bag since family members are not responsible for the debt of their parents and siblings. They write that debt off!!!
