Why does it feel like this comparison was made by someone writing recipes?

Reply to A study shows that patients with the most serious health issues who thought that continuing the treatment would result in destitution only had an estimated 24% chance of continuing treatment, while those thinking paying fees would not negatively affect their financial situations had a 95% likelihood by nmhhg8

Currently in this situation. I’m no good to my 8 year old son dead, but I’m not much better if I spent all my money staying alive and I can’t feed him.

Thanks. They do have long term care insurance (a very old plan- I’ve heard the newer ones are mostly useless.) I’m hoping to get them in with an attorney soon, as my years of nagging them to do so has finally worn them down and I am slowly taking over their healthcare needs so POA etc. shouldn’t be an issue.

My main goal is to help them age in place as long as they’re able (their preference) so even if one passes long before the other they’d be able to be supported in their home.

My parents are 70 but in reasonably good health. They’ve never done any estate planning. Is it worth it for them to make a trust, or should they assume that at their age a Medicaid look back is inevitable and would just invalidate it?

Reply to TIL the number of people who identify as Native American on the US Census increased by 86% from 2010 to 2020. by substantial-freud

While some of it might be “1/32 Indian Princess” syndrome, the U.S. census only started allowing for selecting multiple races since 2000, and between the 2010 and 2020 census that option has massively changed demographic reporting across the board in the past 10 years.
