re: Baby boomers have it made

The thought of not having medicaid when we're 70+ is damn scary. Nursing home costs are 96k+/year.

If you don't want Republican policies, then stop voting for Republicans.

Don't you have any sense of personal responsibility at all? Why is everything someone else's fault?

What are the odds the younger generations will have any of these benefits when we're 60/70?

As long as they keep getting their asses handed to them in programs like the ACA, to the benefit of boomers, the odds are painfully slim.

WAKE UP!

Social security won't be around when I look to retire in 30-40 years. I fully expect the government to cut it off at some point and buy out remaining contributors through tax credits or something. Medicare probably won't be around but who the hell knows what healthcare will look like in 10 years much less 30 years.

And boomers are mostly hard-working people. My parents are late stage boomers and they've grinded their way to retirement with 4 kids, it's not their fault that our government dips into their money because they can't balance a budget. They deserve what they are owed.

Might want to educate yourself on Medicaid and nursing home costs

Meh, no one forced you to come to this planet at this time.

You made the choice of your own free will.

Now stop griping and get to work!

Ok. What am I missing?

quote:

There are many ways you can pay for nursing home care. Most people who enter nursing homes begin by paying for their care out-of-pocket. As you use your resources (like bank accounts and stocks) over a period of time, you may eventually become eligible for Medicaid.

Medicare generally doesn't cover long-term care stays (room and board) in a nursing home.

quote:

---

If you qualify for Medicaid, you may be able to get help to pay for nursing home care costs. Not all nursing homes accept Medicaid payment.

---

quote:

---

Sometimes you won't be eligible for Medicaid until you've spent some of your personal resources on medical care. You may be moved to another room in the Medicaid-certified section of the nursing home when your care is paid by Medicaid

---

quote:

---

Most people who are eligible for Medicaid have to reduce their assets first.

Amen broham.

In Texas, you can put your assets in a living trust, and after a certain amount of time, your assets are protected from Medicaid. I guess this is most states, too.

Bull shite. You baby boomer blamers don't know what the frick you are talking about.

It wasn't the baby boomer who created this mess. It was the so called greatest generation. The very first baby boomers born couldn't even hold office before 1970.
The very first Baby Boomer President was Bill Clinton.

The problems we have today of eminence government expansion were created by people from the previous generation.

The Policies that fricked up health care costs, education costs, etc etc were in place prior to 1986. Most were enacted before 1975. None of these were done by the baby boomers.

Furthermore the taxes that the Baby Boomers are paying is the only thing keeping this country even remotely afloat. Your world will come crashing down after we retire.


The Baby Boomers do have something they did wrong though. They reared the shittiest generations of people ever to exist in this country(The Millennials and Generation X) because we gave you to much stuff.
