The Misleadingly Name "Affordable Health Care Act"

Prior to the roll-out of the misleadingly named "Affordable Health Care Act", to be eligible for Medicaid a recipient could have no more than about $2,400 in assets besides their house and car. However, that test has now been replaced so that now those with incomes up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level now qualify. This has opened the door for a large percentage of Americans to now qualify for Medicaid. 

Currently, new enrollees in Medicaid are outpacing new enrollees in Obamacare by a factor of 4 to 1. What has not been explained to these new enrollees, is that since 1993 the federal law requires states to recover at the costs of Medicaid care for anyone 55 years old and up from the estates of those covered. Accordingly, Medicaid puts a lien on the homes and estates of those enrolled and when they die, their heirs find that they must pay back Medicaid's costs from the estate or loose their inherited assets. 

The kicker is this, if you go on Medicaid, you owe the entire amount that Medicaid spends on you from the day you turn 55.”

So, as they say "Here are numbers":

New participants in the "Affordable" Health Care insurance plans: 110,000

New Participants in Medicaid:  440,000

Those who have lost their insurance and have now joined the ranks of the uninsured:  5,000,000
