Is it good enough for Americans? I'd so no. On what basis? Do you have some reason for concluding that? Or are you still, like I was, repeating urban legends. The one run in I had with Medicaid is when we used it to put my Grandma into a nursing home. Sounds like a terrible nursing home. Apparently there are lots of them. I'm sorry that happened to her. I cared for my father in home hospice and I have LTC insurance for myself. How was your grandmother's problem a Medicaid problem. I understand that when one is out of resources, Medicaid picks up the tab. But I don't see how the treatment she received is Medicaid's fault. They're just the payer, not the care facility. The facility is overseen by the state and the family. No?
