8. I've been talking about the Nursing Homes, etc.,

since the very first mention of Medicaid cuts. From personal experience, I knew Mom couldn't come back to live with us again once her memory and physical deterioration got to a certain point. It broke my heart to admit it, but I couldn't take care of her the way she needed to be. But once we went through all her money (what there was of it!), we filed with Medicaid so they'd pick up that portion of nursing home expense that we couldn't pay.

I loved her dearly... at times, she was my best friend and cohort in all kinds of trouble. She died Jan 3... just before all this stuff about cutting medicaid came out. The timing of it still blows my mind; it's like she knew intrinsically what was coming. She hated Dtrump.
