11. I've had a loved one in a care facility when the state dropped Medicaid.

We were private pay but so many of the residents were on Medicaid. The state turned it off and immediately meds, depends, special care givers and monthly fees stopped coming in to the facility. That place went to a dead stop with the manager big eyed as to what the end of the month would bring! Trust me killing Medicaid kills nursing facilities and assisted living care for everyone. They simply will not exist on private pay patients. We were writing the big check but the care was just not there. Grandma and grandpa will be coming home to a living room near you! Those with no family…it’s not going to go well. 😢
