It is insidious. Yes they do have people on Medicare in nursing homes. But if you have a savings, you have to drain that first to apply for Medicare.
In my mom's case when she was in a nursing home, she had a pension. Her nursing home rent was $4,000 a month. The only way she could get Medicare to pay for it is if her savings got drained to $2,000 total, then Medicare would kick in.
My point is, poor or middle class, nobody should go broke or become indentured slaves because they get sick.
No you don't. You're thinking of Medicaid. Stop making statements regarding things you know little to nothing about.
