“The cost of long-term care in America has grown — here’s how you can prepare,” by Christy Bieber, Moneywise

“Medicare doesn’t cover long-term care, but you might qualify for assistance under Medicaid. An estate planning attorney can work with you to make a Medicaid plan. When done in advance, this helps you preserve your assets while qualifying for Medicaid coverage for long-term care.”

LTC Comment, Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform:

Those “estate planning attorneys” can make almost anyone eligible for Medicaid LTC benefits while preserving most or all of their wealth. But to say that without explaining Medicaid’s downsides, such as poor access and quality, is irresponsible journalism.
