I know this is actually an old case, but when I read the actual case, it scared the crap out of me.
What am I talking about? The term is called "filial responsibility" and 30 states have laws that state if you're a parent, child or spouse of an indigent person that needed care provided by the state (Medicaid) that you're financial responsible for any left over remaining amounts.
As this issue EXPLODES into our society as the Baby Boomers get older there will be more stories similar to this one imo.
