Don’t Bet the Farm on Medicaid
$25.00
This book was written to provide general information about Medicaid and its impact on small farmers specifically regarding Medicaid lien enforcement. With the average age of the farmer predicted to be 65 and older based on anticipated US Department of Agriculture Census data, the need for aging services for farmers is immediate and neglected. As most individuals over 65 years old seek health care coverage through Medicaid the need to protect one’s property to qualify is often overlooked until long-term care is immediate. For farmers who are often “land rich and cash poor” the need to protect generational owned land and qualify for Medicaid should not be a choice. Farmers should never be forced to sale their land to cover nursing care costs.
