"Consumer Voice is extremely grateful to Representative Schakowsky for reintroducing this bill. The estate recovery program is an outdated system that punishes low income Medicaid recipients and their families who take advantage of long term care supports and services. It also serves as a barrier to access to services, since many eligible individuals forgo necessary care out of fear of losing their home. This bill would make access to LTSS easier, remove the financial and housing burden on low income families, and ensure that individuals are able to receive care without fear of repercussion,” said Sam Brooks, Director of Public Policy at Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care."
Who would be against this? For many people the only asset they have to pass on to their descendants is their home, if paid off. Assets can be protected, even minor ones, with the help of a good attorney, cooperation among the people involved, and a little luck, but there's no guarantee, and not everyone knows how to do so. The government doesn't need to nag poor people for what little they have at the end of their lives. This bill could help end that.
Ooops. You should have asked Kennedy to see his WORLD SERIES ring. He doesn't have a Super Bowl ring, unless he got it in a trade with one of his FUTBALL playing friends.
the story about the PAB rally in The Independent was sort of amusing in that you could sense the writer felt like it was beneath him to be covering it at and to be in Dayton. He also talked about people leaving early while Trump was still doing his brain vomit.
So, did anyone fall into despair over the Great Disappointment last night? Charles didn't die, Kate didn't die, William didn't divorce Kate to shack up with his girlfriend, Kate didn't divorce William because he's shacking up with his girlfriend. And there wasn't any weird Irish revenge on St. Patrick's day angle.
My favorite part of the Kathleen Parker piece because it is so lacking in self awareness as to be laughable.
“The seriousness of this situation can’t be overstated. Biden’s diminishing faculties, notwithstanding his relatively successful State of the Union address, and his increasing physical frailty are concerning.”
Yes, the fact that when you actually see Biden live and he’s completely with it shouldn’t distract you from all the clickbait headlines saying that he’s not.
I think that trad wife stuff is a lot of bs. I saw a woman the other day with 5 kids and she looked about as miserable as one can be with five kids. And I know because there were 6 kids in my family growing up and my mom wasn’t exactly jumping for joy.

i was pleased as punch to vote for Rep Jan an hour ago.
(she's fab on health and benefits - we worked closed with her during all my ACA years. )

I have no such illusion about Italy. I simply observed that her description of how fucked up it is here was not altogether wrong.
the story about the PAB rally in The Independent was sort of amusing in that you could sense the writer felt like it was beneath him to be covering it at and to be in Dayton. He also talked about people leaving early while Trump was still doing his brain vomit.
Cool Adam Kennedy story. Is the Canyon Inn still there, or did the health department finally shut it down?
Adam Kennedy's loss, obv.
What?

Re: that Marcotte piece - when did "triggering" become a life *goal* of some people?
It's like the adult equivalent of a kid jumping out and yelling "BOO!" when everyone knows that's exactly what he's going to do.
C'mon c'mon
All I want is 300,000 and six weeks vacation
C'mon you bastards
Nobody went there, and it took me this long, but even so...
Build it, and they will come.
Oh, bloody hell.
The dumbass headline on that Kathleen Parker is so fukkin derp.
