WHAT CAN YOU DO NOW TO AVOID THE GOVERNMENT MANDATED CONFISCATION OF THE MEDICAID NURSING HOME SPEND-DOWN PROGRAM?
Good planning is done when the seas are calm; it’s often too late when the seas are stormy. It has become obvious that government has outspent their income and created more money with printing presses. As a boomer myself, I just don’t like it when big brother has plans for my earnings and accumulated wealth.
The more money you throw at them the more they want, it’s a black hole of the universe. If Government wants us to buy our own long-term health care, then why not make it tax deductible. Why on form 1040 heath care costs have to exceed 7.5% of adjusted gross income. Why not make deductions for long term care insurance 100% tax deductible, or better yet why not mak
Information is the lifeblood of the economy. That’s especially true for businesses, because the ability to identify current customers and locate new customers makes the difference between boom and bust. So how do successful companies do it? Through targeted market research, which usually means arcane computer systems, large staffs, and six-figure budgets.That situation is ripe for change, according to the CEO of Catosphere, Wendy Cobrda. “Many companies use the U.S. Census Bureau data, because of its low cost, but last year’s data often isn’t good enough for today’s marketplace”. And what if you need a finer-grained solution than the 10,000 foot view that the Census demographics offer? That’s where Catosphere’s epononymous web application enters the pic
The Medicare / Medicaid programs are dual eligibilities government programs for the aged, the blind, and disabled, and heavy long term care users for the poor of the poorest. Medicaid is the largest liability in state budgets having topped elementary and secondary education. For 2003, total Medicaid expenditures in most states were $267 billion. Of this, Medicaid financed nursing home care accounted for approximately $51 billion and home care $9.9billion.*
The new Tax Reduction Act of 2005 mandated that seniors spend-down all of their combined assets before the sick spouse can qualify into a nursing home. The act requires a 5-year look back for any transfers by seniors designed to deprive the state of those available resources to pay for the nursing home.
WHAT IS THE NURSING HOME SPEND-DOWN?
The spend-down provision is that “you must self pay” for your nursing home care with the sale of all your personal and real assets to the point of financial devastation of your life’s savings driving you into financial destitution. Nursing home eligibility will be determined by your lack of any available resources designed specifically to punish/impoverish your healthy spouse.
WHY IS MEDICAID ESTATE PLANNING IMPORTANT?
The problem with the 5-year look back provision is that the new Medicare regulations do not consider the healthy spouse. It’s a social punishment of the marriage certificate. It’s a new social discrimination based on health. Eventually seniors will be forced to choose divorce for the sake of retaining their financial dignity.
WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE MEDICAID HEALTH CARE SYSTEM?
The gross mismanagement of the social security system is going to force baby boomers into giving serious thought about their long-term health care. There won’t be any money by the time baby boomers reach retirement age. Health care has been escalating at an alarming pace. Government planners have figured out that they can save $10 billion over the next 5 years by increasing the look back provision from 3 years to 5 years.
WHAT'S THE 5-YEAR LOOK BACK FOR THE NURSING HOME PROGRAM?
Before you qualify for the government nursing home assistance program, there is a 60 month look back to see if and when you transferred your assets for less than fair cash value or you transferred your assets into a trust system or any system of transferring your wealth for the purpose of becoming eligible for the nursing home program depriving the state of all your available resources for your long-term health care.**
THE SOCIAL CHANGE AT HAND ON HOME EQUITY
According to the National Council of the Aging, 81% of America’s 13.2 million households aged 62 and over own their own homes. Seventy-four (74%) of those seniors own their homes free and clear. Altogether seniors own nearly $2trillion worth of home equity.* You got to hand it to the government to help you figure out how to spend it.
They want you to use the equity in your home to pay for your own long-term health care! They are going to make it super-easy for you to borrow against it or “reverse mortgage” your way to creating a new government sponsored reverse mortgage industry. Based on this perceived wealth, it will not be long before government will mandate look back provisions of 10 years for most asset transfers to 20 years for real estate property.
WHAT'S A REVERSE MORTGAGE?
A Reverse Mortgage (RM) is a special kind of loan which can be obtained if you are at least 62 years of age (if married, the youngest must be at least 62) and own your own home, condo, or co-op. A Reverse Mortgage (RM ) converts a portion of the value (equity) of a home into instant cash. The main feature of this program is that you need not qualify for credit to obtain this loan.
The money borrowed can be in one lump sum, monthly payment, line of credit, or any combination. The Reverse Mortgage is a non-recourse loan. There’s no personal liability to the borrower, their estate, or their heirs. The house is the only collateral and the borrower does not have to make any monthly payments; it's the reverse, the bank pays you.
What’s wrong, is that the interest charged on the loan accrues and compounds on itself accelerating the amount of equity being removed from the home, not to mention the extravagant forced fees charged when there’s no other alternative. What’s wrong with Reverse Mortgage’s is that the financial dignity of the senior will quickly evaporate, before their very eyes.

Wildlife can get out of control at times and someone is needed to put it "back in control". Wildlife managers do this every day.From rescuing a squirrel that took a wrong turn down a chimney to a garter snake that made its way under the door, this is normal territory for the Professional Nuisance Wildlife Manager.So many people would love to work with wildlife and struggle to find a job in the governmental sector. They often do not know that there are many private company opportunities that exist in wildlife management.Governmental jobs are hard to come by and the ones who have these jobs keep them for as long as they can. This makes it difficult for a person who just graduated from college or someone who has a real interest in a wildlife ca
