California

I just qualified for this rather recently. If you qualify for Medi-Cal in California, you qualify for Medicaid as well.

I don't have assets over $130,000 so this will not affect me BUT it will others with money over this amount (they do not count IRA's, etc.).

A lot of people were told by their estate attorneys to sign-up for Medi-Cal as there were no longer any restrictions.

Now, to remain on Medi-Cal and Medicaid, you would have to liquidate assets to remain on the "Partnership".

Luckily, I don't use Medi-Cal for many things but it is helping me out some.

This is BAD NEWS for the people I mentioned.
