I don't know about other states, but for many Medi-cal programs under State of California you can now have assets up to $130,000 in the bank and still access medical care. So proud of my State. Running a surplus of funds. Giving back to the people in a very important way. Program effective starting July 1.

Thanks for sharing that, Alva. NY has similarly high ASSET limits, not income. It encourages folks to be savers.
