Thank you for your kind words. My husband passed away 12/4/22. He was called back to work after the great recession but they cut his hours to 30 hours week and offered no benefits whatsoever anymore. That's why he landed on medicaid when he got sick in 2015. I think I'm out of the woods, but still worry sometimes because the state can take your house after your surviving spouse passes away. If I haven't heard from them by now I'm probably not going to. Regardless, I know I have a lot to be grateful for. So many people are far worse than I am. I have good health, I have decent benefits through my job and my children are doing well. I just hope and pray that fascism doesn't take hold permanently. I just can't bear watching people suffer, especially children.
Tracy, so sorry for your loss. But I admire your attitude. And I agree, letting kids suffer seems like something any species of animal would not do. It is astounding to me that we still think like tribes instead of a species.
Sounds like you also live in MA. I can't see how the state could take away your house - as long as it was also in your name. A person can qualify for Medicaid - even move to a care facility and still retain ownership of a home. My understanding is that a home is protected. But it would probably be a good idea to get a legal opinion. Most towns have an attorney who volunteers to offer basic advice for one or two questions.
