| Hello/Intro Medicaid Return to index of stories... |
But first, the battle over medicaid in New Hampshire. Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. Medicaid funding is now the second biggest piece of the state budget, surpassed only by the cost of education. Medicaid could become the "biggest" cost in state government if it's NOT brought under control. That was the message Health and Human Services Commissioner John Stephen recently delivered to the Legislature. We'll talk about some of his proposals for reform in a moment -- but, first, Richard Ager brings us some of the highlights of Stephen's presentation. |
| Intro Discussion Return to index of stories... |
That vote at the legislature is set for Tuesday, November 23rd. Here to talk about the proposed changes to Medicaid: Deputy Minority Leader Senator Lou D'Allesandro and Senate Majority Leader Bob Clegg - both serve on the Legislature's joint Fiscal Committee which will be VOTING on the issue - and John Poirier from the NH Health Care Asssociation -- which represents private nursing homes in NH. Welcome: Q JOHN POIRIER: Comsr Stephen spoke about those who HIDE assets -- so as NOT to pay for nursing home expenses. What's been your experience with that?? 12-thousand for home-based setting. More financial SCRUTINY a good thing? |

Q SEN. D'ALLESANDRO: Asking FAMILIES to chip into nursing home costs!! How would that work -- and doesn't that just SHIFT the burden of cost unto families??? Q SENATOR CLEGG: Under GRANITE CARE the state would shift 30-percent of the state's nursing home population into HOME-based care. What would that do in the way of costs, and services?? Q JOHN POIRIER: Would you feel comfortable sending your MOTHER to a cheaper home or community setting -- as opposed to a nursing home-- which is the PLAN under the overhaul. Q SEN D'ALLESANDRO: There's A lot of concern about letting the GOVERNMENT "determine" CARE you're going to receive -- which is part of the plan??? should there be???? Q JOHN POIRIER: Nursing Homes have long argued that the STATE does not pay its FAIR share in funding homes. Does that issue need to be resolved before moving ahead on any Medicaid OVERHAUL? Q SEN CLEGG: What about very SICK patients that could NOT be served COST-EFFECTIVELY in home-based settings?? how is that POPULATION figured into this plan. Q ANYONE: Will Stephen's Medicaid Overhaul Plan be a TOUGH SELL?? How will you VOTE?? SENATOR: The joint legislative Fiscal Committee votes Nov. 23 whether to give John Stephen authority to begin negotiating with federal authorities. Lawmakers would need to approve funding for any agreed-upon changes in the budget. Q Are we GRANDFATHERING those currently receiving services? Q SEN D"ALLESANDRO: Will the truly Poor -- which Medicaid was designed to help -- get what they need under this overhaul plan?? Q SENATOR CLEGG: ***HOW much pressure are we getting from the FEDERAL Government to OVERHAUL our Medicaid System???? . Q ANYONE: Will the Federal Government help FINANCIALLY if State overhauls its system?? Q ANYONE: Stephen says without an overhaul, the state will have to raise taxes or cut services??? TRUE? ================== Q What's FUELING plans to re-organize Medicaid?? Q Stephen has called his reorganization plan: Medicaid Modernization. Critics call it a budget cutting excercise to "downsize" a successful program? FAIR assessment?? Q Medicaid picks u tab for what Social Security doesn't cover. If deed to a nursing home resident is in their name, no will, is there any legal way a child could KEEP the house? Q Where does John Lynch stand on the "GRANITECARE" Plan?? He'll be in office when all this is hammered out this spring or summer. |

Finally, all this week New Hampshire Public Television is presenting Ken Burns' series on the Civil War. Many New Hampshire men volunteered during that war. And, In 1862 and 1863 a Concord photographer, named Henry P. Moore traveled to South Carolina and Georgia to take pictures of the Third New Hampshire Regiment. It was purely an entreprenurial venture; but, he came back with some unique photographs which captured the "awkward" relationship between the white soldiers from the north and the black slaves of the south. |

From: Don Chaney My father died in February. My mother is in a nursing home & Medicaid picks up the tab for what her Social Security doesn't cover. I live in the house where my parents lived. The deed to the house is in their names. Neither of my parents had/has a will. Is there any legal way for me to keep the house? Also, should I do a quick claim/quit claim on the deed to the house & have it put in my name? I was told by an attorney that if I don't do this, once my mother dies an estate will have to be opened & that could cost $2,000 to $3,000. He said if I did the quick claim I could avoid having to have an estate opened afer my mother's death. Thanks for any answers you can provi |
