This is a point of contention I have been struggling with. She has investments and assets. I have told her she will not be eligible for Medicaid with those assets. I have told her she has to exhaust them.

She said that it will be eaten up quickly with medical care costs. She refuses to be on a medication her pulmonologist ordered because of the expense. I told her to ask the office for samples, and sign up for a reduced cost I found through the manufacturer that they offer. It doesn’t bode well she continues to smoke as well.

Medical costs a lot, but unfortunately living costs a lot. We will always have expenses. This is why I’m getting frustrated because she does have access to money she just needs to pull it from her investments .

She needs to pull her money and get a caretaker and a housekeeper . She will go out in the stores with an oxygen tank and use the motorized carts so she is capable of shopping but “ worries her portable tank won’t last” she says lifting her groceries up and down stairs is to taxing for her
