When Medicaid comes after the family home 
The New York Times, by Paula Span; 3/16/24

The letter came from the state department of human services ... It expressed condolences for the loss of the recipient's mother, who had died a few weeks earlier at 88. ... Medicaid estate recovery means surviving family members may have to sell the home of a loved one to repay Medicaid, or the state may seize the property.
