Why is the reasoning behind Medicaid Spend down?

Answer 1

To put more resources into the wars. The same thing happened during the Vietnam war, the social services were cut. This is why the US has a shorter life expectancy than most western countries, an infant mortality rate similar to some third world countries, and a dropping literacy rate.

Answer 2

duh....... it's called spending all your assets, so that you'll meet the means test to get free medical care for the rest of your life. Another idiotic consequence of socialized medicine.
