Probably the largest expense that Alabama MEdicaid has is nursing home payments.  AL has such a racket they have had to change rules  several times over the years.  Racket is this:  Old folks with assets have to get rid of assets before they qualify for Medicaid so they turn over, or deed assets to kin, children, etc. and wait a period of time until state says they a indigent then they qualify for Medicaid.  30 years ago the waiting period was 2 years, but abuse is so rampant that now I believe the waiting period is 7 years.  There are literately millionaires, mostly land and farms, in nursing homes via Medicaid.
