Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Virginia

Re: Protecting small home and Prloperty

Yes, after Dad passes, state Medicaid (not the nursing facility itself) can place a lien on the home for reimbursement for medicaid costs expended for the parents, if I understand correctly the mechanics of "spin down" economics. Even now, the Bush Administration is trying to further burden poor and middle class people with further obligations in trying to change the regulations in order to qualify for long term care under Medicaid without completely impoverishing themselves and/or their families.

This, of course, is the same adminsitration which has taken the American people into a completely and unnecessary war in Iraq with untold trillions(not merely billions) which will be expended thereon while millions of U.S. citizens lack not only basic medical insurance coverage but also provisions for long term care.

Many of us saw the Hollywood movie in the late 1990's entitled "Dumb and Dumber". Why, now, must we endure this version of a Hollywood fantasy as a political(and derivative medical) reality in which we must now necessarily share?

Send all these Congressional Bastards home--every last one-who voted to authorize this war in Iraq on October 10(House), and October 11(Senate), 2002.

I'M sorry Sir or Madam, no matter how distinguished your previous service for our beloved countrymay have been, your judgment was unforegivably flawed on this most important vote of your Congressional career. Your failure has already and will cost the American people an incredible and still untold cost in blood and treasure. And no, good Sirs nad Ladies, do not attempt to blabbler your justifications in terms of what you thought that you reliably knew at the time(of your vote). There were clearly many red banners up and fully visible which more than suggested that there was no good reason for this American invasion of Iraq in the month of March 2003, Anno Domini.

Go home. You've failed, miserably. Allow someone else to try, who may have a more reflective and learnible experience from at least a cursory study of the history of the Middle East in times past and the experience of the United States as an incursive war making power in Asia in the latter half of the 20th Century at the behest of its naive and ill-informed polictical leaders.
