Hi, I'm certified elder law attorney Evan H Farr. I'd like to talk to you about the complexity of Medicaid. Medicaid eligibility rules are one of the most complex and confusing sets of law in existence and nearly impossible to understand without highly experienced legal assistance. The laws of Medicaid are so complex that the United States Supreme Court Supreme Court has referred to them as an aggravated assault on the English language, resistant to attempts to understand it. And the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit has called the Medicaid Act one of the most completely impenetrable texts within human experience and dense reading of the most tortuous kind. Without proper planning and legal advice from an experienced elder law attorney, preferably a certified elder law attorney. Many people spend much more than they should on long-term care and unnecessarily jeopardize their future care and well-being, as well as the security of their family.
