Trump/Musk Medicaid Cuts & Oregon’s Filial Responsiblility Law

Submitted By: genedieken@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
The recently passed House GOP budget road map seeks to make massive cuts to Medicaid. This means that elders and others who now rely primarily on Medicaid to cover nursing home or memory care costs will lose that assistance in whole or in part. Oregon has filial care laws (ORS 109.010, et al) that could require adult children to cover the Medicaid loses of their parents.
I’m not an expert in this area but if it’s possible you could be affected, it might be wise to start investigating/planning.
