(I was unaware of the Tim Jost post on the "Family Glitch" and its administrative fixability, and am glad to learn about that source.)<br /><br />Otherwise, as you keep doing the good job of shedding light on the Medicaid estate recovery of expanded Medicaid, that the New York Times completely ignores, and the Washington Post has ignored since 2014, I note a little publicity for the issue has leaked through into an unlikely source: verywell health, which is mostly a site giving information on diseases and treatments.<br /><br />That's here: https://www.verywellhealth.com/health-insurance-options-if-you-retire-before-age-65-5184983<br /><br />(The article is a little less than lucid in that it doesn't state that expanded Medicaid or other Medicaid eligibility blocks eligibility for subsidized on-exchange plans, and that people just automatically get the potentially estate-destroying expanded Medicaid if incomes are to 138% of the Federal Poverty Level (regardless of assets) if they follow the standard ACA application procedure "I want help paying from the government".Norm Spierhttp://nasmusicsoft.comnoreply@blogger.com
