What is senior care plan for health in light of Medicad getting harder to qualify for Seniors….!!!!!

Families hoping to use Medicaid to help pay for long-term care are facing
tougher restrictions—though some states are getting stricter than others.In Texarkana, Texas, for example, you can get Medicaid to pay for a
nursing-home stay after simply buying an annuity with any savings that exceed
the qualifying limit, says John Ross IV, a lawyer who specializes in elder-law
issues… But just across the state line, Arkansas’s Medicaid program has told him it
won’t accept the same practice, he says.Medicare doesn’t cover much in the way of long-term care. That falls primarily to Medicaid, the jointly funded state and federal program intended for the poor. The program now is shouldering 40% of the country’s long-term-care spending, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.

To be eligible for Medicaid in most states, you generally can have no more
than $2,000 in cash and investments, along with a house and a car. (Spouses are
allowed to keep varying amounts as well in different states.) In the past,
regulators looked at any gifts you made up to three years before applying for
Medicaid. In 2006, a new federal law increased the “look back” period for most
transfers to five years….

Call for an appointment to discuss your Senior Health care plan and if you don’t have a plan plan , Please allow me the opprotuinty to help you develop one…
