Fortunately the law will fail. Unfortunately what Obombya wanted to accomplished will not be reversed.
The ACA was just another "wealth shift" this time addressing estate confiscation, and the pillaging of our labor funded SS funds.
They knew the ACA would fail or they wouldnt have put the whole "subsidies through State market Place sign up" in there. That excludes 31 states. It is also why the OBRA 1993 is separate. They have been planning this along time and anyone who thinks this is Obamas brain child doesnt get it.
"Estate Recovery
OBRA 1993 requires all states that receive Medicaid funding to seek recovery from the estates of deceased Medicaid patients for medical services received in a nursing home or other long-term care institution, home- and community-based services and related hospital and prescription drug services regardless of age. It also allows, at state option, recovery for all services used in the Medicaid state plan at age 55 or older. At minimum, states must pursue recovery from the probate estate which includes property that passes to heirs under state probate law, but states can expand the definition of estate to allow recovery from property that bypasses probate. This means states can use procedures for direct recovery from bank accounts and other funds. The state keeps a running tally, and even if you have a will, your heirs are chopped liver. Estate recovery can be exempted or deferred in certain situations after your death, but the regulations for this are limited and complicated with multitudes of conditions.
Your estate is what you own when you die–your home, other real estate in which you have a legal interest, personal property, bank accounts, annuities and so on. For cash-strapped states, recovery provides an income stream, and with the expansion of Medicaid states will be in dire need of money, particularly in the current economy.
You must first understand that if an exchange determines you are eligible for Medicaid, you have no other choice. "
