        Yes, help our seniors from this administration, who is punishing and hurting them at every turn because that’s the generation that remembers Hitler, fascism, and WWII.

        How will it affect seniors? They are already on Medicare which is NOT affected by this. It will only impact them if the legislature uses nursing home money to fund it.

        Medicare only pays for 80% of care, with 20% being the responsibility of the insured senior. Many seniors then either purchase a Medicare supplement policy to cover the rest, or end up relying on Medicaid to cover the remaining balance. If they’re in a nursing home...

        Replying to @snowknuckles @HuttonmelePaula and

        then they’re likely on Medicaid, with the gov’t recouping costs by limiting the countable assets those seniors are able to keep (only a couple thousand for seniors, $103k of liquid assists + one house + a car for the healthier spouse), unless they have a long term care policy.

        Is that because the republicans want to steal from seniors and children. Guilty conscience?
