Claim: Seniors with a life insurance policy are eligible for Medicaid and Orestis created a model for middle-class people to pay for long-term care when they cannot pay out of pocket or through Medicaid.
Evidence: In 1993, Congress enacted the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, which required states to attempt to recoup "the expense of long-term care and related costs for deceased Medicaid recipients 55 or older."
