AN IRONIC CONSEQUENCE OF MISUSE OF PROTECTIVE STATUTES
- WITH A TRULY SHOCKING AND APPALLING TWIST
What happens after the court-appointed fiduciaries take everything, sell their wards’ homes, and leave their wards homeless and indigent?
Although the statutes were promulgated in the public interest to protect the vulnerable, conserve their estates, and guard against wards becoming public charges, misuse of the present system is responsible for a problematical consequence unintended by the original legislation: The American taxpayers, instead of being protected by the statutes, become victims. They are FORCED, through federal taxation, to pick up the MEDICAID tab for continuing lifelong care of wards purposely and wrongfully thrust into indigence and onto Medicaid by their court-appointed “protectors” who have instead, bled the estates to death! And those “protectors,” given a "license to steal" in state-court proceedings under color of law, move on to their next victim – while personally benefitting from their unjust and unlawful self-enrichment.
INSTEAD OF PROTECTING THE PUBLIC INTEREST, GUARDIANSHIP HAS INDEED BECOME A BURDEN TO THE YET UNWARY TAXPAYER: a truly ironic and oppressive consequence of a good law gone bad!
Some fiduciaries have actually suggested that what they're doing (while filling their own pockets) is "spending down" the assets specifically to qualify the ward for Medicaid! Wrong! The Medicaid “spend down” was designed to protect families; not to enrich fiduciaries.
This is not what taxpayers expect their elected representatives to allow, especially when the public is demonstrating in a growing number of “tea parties” that it is fed up and disgusted with the economic problems facing them, due to financial deregulation and lack of oversight by our federal government over the years.
The taxpaying public will not stand for Congress permitting the states to use guardianship to bleed wards’ assets out, put them on Medicaid and expect the taxpayers to pick up the tab.
CONGRESS CANNOT CONTINUE TO CONDONE THIS TYPE OF MEDICAID FLEECING WITH RESULTANT BURDEN TO THE TAXPAYERS
