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

Home equity to the rescue, just as we’ve long predicted. But that means Gen X inheritances will be subdued compared to the windfall their baby-boomer parents received. It also means Gen Xers will be highly motivated to take advantage of Medicaid’s huge home equity exemption when LTC looms ahead for their parents.
