Medicaid Help Without Falling Into Poverty

Medicaid Help Without Falling Into Poverty

"WHEN Colin Sandler was in high school in the mid-1980s, her grandparents legally separated after 45 years of marriage. This was not because their marriage was troubled, but because her grandfather had fallen ill and medical bills threatened to consume their entire life savings and all their income, leaving Ms. Sandler’s grandmother penniless."

"The separation, as Ms. Sandler recalls it, allowed her grandfather to qualify for Medicaid and her grandmother to stay solvent. Ms. Sandler, now an elder care consultant in Cortland Manor, N.Y., says that in those years divorcing was a mainstream financial planning move. Tactics to keep elderly people’s assets and income within their family’s control while still qualifying them for Medicaid were common. Loopholes were exploited."

Sweeping plans announced to study Presque Isle, Erie’s bayfront

"Being the most visited state park in Pennsylvania with 4 million visits annually means Presque Isle State Park has its share of challenges when it comes to managing traffic and congestion."

"The extended holiday weekend alone drew roughly 150,000 people, with some stalled in their vehicles for more than 20 minutes en route to their desired destination — likely one of the peninsula’s beaches."

"Better accommodating that demand was the subject of a Wednesday news conference at Presque Isle, where officials from Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration announced two sweeping initiatives to consider mobility improvements on the peninsula and on Erie’s bayfront."
