While this good lawmaker tries to make it happen, are there any strategies for families to get around this?
I suppose relinquishing ownership of a house to loved ones, but that poses many problems. (What if there are more than one surviving adult children, who to choose? Maybe that might not deter debt collection anyway?)
EDIT for the following: since this is a federal law, it’s a requirement in every state. Sorry for any confusion I caused. (Very odd, I’m trying to strike out the following, but I don’t think it’s working - sorry.)
~~Also, does this apply for every state? It seems Illinois - as an example - covers assisted living and nursing homes.
Is this a matter that mostly affects red states? The article doesn’t seem to say.~~
