‘I’m going to be homeless’: Ohio Medicaid collects $87.5M from families after loved ones’ death

If you’re 65 you’re eligible for MediCARE. Ands it basically free

Most people think that, but it's not. You're probably confusing it with Medicaid, which is free for low-income people, regardless of age. You can drop your old insurance at 65, and switch to Medicare. I'll probably wound up keeping my old insurance, and have Medicare as well. I also plan on buying a long-term care policy. When you get up there in age, long-term care becomes important, even more when you're single, and can't depend on your offspring(s) to help you if you get sick.

“No homes are seized,” Ohio AG press secretary Steve Irwin told this news organization. “Funds are recovered out of the sale of homes, but we do not take possession of a property.

If you're sixty-five or older, you already gotta pay about $165 a month for medicaid, if your're lucky. The greed

Correction: I was referring to medicare, not medicaid. With medicare, if you're 65 or older, you have to pay a premium of about 165 a month. If you earn more than 97,000, then you pay even more. So much for you coli brothers bragging about making six figures.

But like I said earlier, medicaid is free if you qualify as low income, regardless of age.
