I agree 99% with nightfighter except with financial depletion providing U set up a trust well in advance .....U should only lose your monthly medicare and any earned income....and those that do not have a trust if house is in husband and wife's name as long as the spouse that is sick, is coherent and can sign the deed over to the other the house should B protected.....for those of U that own a home U should have the Homestead Act the best insurance U could buy for 35 bucks a one time fee....U get it at the registry of deeds....U R not protected from any city,state, federal or nursing home fees or fines but U R protected from other creditors....
