Medicaid is often confused with Medicare

and what they have in common is that

they are two programs that are organized

by a government now Medicaid is a state

program that also has federal government

implications so you’re really talking

about two different governing bodies

coming together to facilitate a program

so planning for Medicaid involves having

discussions about what would happen to

your care if your assets have been spent

and you can no longer afford your care

the Medicaid Program is there to provide

people with costs to facilitate their

care once their assets have all been

spent down planning comes into play

because you want to talk about how that

looks like like in your situation

what options do you have in those cases

and what are your preferences if you

come into a circumstance where you are

out living your assets
