What is a medicaid divorce?

If a couple can't afford health insurance, they divorce and the non working or underemployed spouse goes on medicaid.

A Medicaid divorce is contrived so that an ailing and medically needy spouse qualifies for Medicaid, thereby preserving the other spouse’s assets and income from being consumed by medical and care costs. A common cause is the inability to provide home care or afford private long term care for a spouse who is unable to care for themselves.
