    This country just wants to bleed us dry and then let us die because we’re no longer economically viable.

    Hell, I’ve heard from friends that MedicAid (Medicare?) is a debt, and that old people who die while being cared for by it can have their houses taken as collateral after they die. Leave it to your kids? Nope, go fuck yourself if you didn’t plan overly complicated ownership schemes at least five years before they kick the bucket or need to be in a home.

      I remember years ago, my parents had to do some sort of trickery with my grandparents transferring their house over so they could get medicare to pay for a nursing home.
