No, it hasn’t been that way for years.
This isn’t people on welfare, just the expanded Medicaid.
Any benefit they receive from it will come out of their estate when they die.
It isn’t based on net worth or assets anymore, just earnings. People are put on it automatically when they sign up for owebamacare. If their income is below 130% of the poverty level they get signed up for Medicaid whether they like it or not.
Medicaid HAS been like that for years-—welfare has nothing to do with it.
