All animals are Equal
But some animals are more equal than others
The ACA was rushed thru Congress after they had lied, cheated, and stole their way to complete control of the federal government. The dems now wish they had done many things differently - because a well designed liberal program only screws people over years after the fact. The screwing is happening too fast for them too escape blame.

“George Orwell must have been writing about the Obama administration and Congress. In Animal Farm, his allegorical novel against Joseph Stalin, former dictator of the Soviet Union, he quipped, “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
While the entire country worries about how Obamacare will impact their lives, Congress and their staff have been exempted from its impact on cost.”
Per wiki.answers.com:
The Seven Commandments of Animal Farm are as follows:
1. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy
2. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend
3. No animal shall wear clothes
4. No animal shall sleep in a bed
5. No animal shall drink alcohol
6. No animal shall kill any other animal
7. All animals are equal
The commandments change over time to suit the needs of the greedy, power hungry leaders (Napoleon, Squeeler, etc). The saying goes ‘Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely’. When the pigs discover the wonder of alcohol, they add in excess to the fifth commandment. When Napoleon discovers the comfort of a bed, the fourth commandment is changed to No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets, and so on....
Really? I'm not hearing any news on this, if it is the case we need to hear A LOT of news on this!

Estate Recovery and Liens
State Medicaid programs must recover certain Medicaid benefits paid on behalf of a Medicaid enrollee. For individuals age 55 or older, states are required to seek recovery of payments from the individual’s estate for nursing facility services, home and community-based services, and related hospital and prescription drug services. States have the option to recover payments for all other Medicaid services provided to these individuals, except Medicare cost-sharing paid on behalf of Medicare Savings Program beneficiaries.
Under certain conditions, money remaining in a trust after a Medicaid enrollee has passed away may be used to reimburse Medicaid. States may not recover from the estate of a deceased Medicaid enrollee who is survived by a spouse, child under age 21, or blind or disabled child of any age. States are also required to establish procedures for waiving estate recovery when recovery would cause an undue hardship.
States may impose liens for Medicaid benefits incorrectly paid pursuant to a court judgment. States may also impose liens on real property during the lifetime of a Medicaid enrollee who is permanently institutionalized, except when one of the following individuals resides in the home: the spouse, child under age 21, blind or disabled child of any age, or sibling who has an equity interest in the home. The states must remove the lien when the Medicaid enrollee is discharged from the facility and returns home.
Literally every state has different laws regarding this, you have to get legal advise from a senior lawyer who specializes in the field.
Filial law also comes into play.

Twice in my life I’ve seen families lose everything due to poor health and poor planning, quarreling family members, and Medicaid and Estate Recovery laws.
With Maryland reporting that 95%+ of all new health insurance exchange enrollees signing up for Medicaid, there are going to be large numbers of people who are going to sign up for free cheese without the faintest clue about the mousetrap.
