Okay, I am a college student and I have to come up with a research
question. I was planning to do it on some variation of What type of
financial burdens are seniors faced with when using Medicaid, Medicare,

or PACE as their main source of payment for long-term care... This is
where I need help, I was wondering if any of you had an stories of
financial burden you or people you know have faced.. I would greatly
appreciate it. It will help me determine whether I should or not pursue

a question such as this.

Medicare doesn't pay for long term care so you may need to rethink your
thesis topic.

I'm not sure what "PACE" is, medicare does not take care of seniors in
long-term care situations. Medicaid does, but the support varies from
state to state. In Illinois, medicaid provides for all health services,
including nursing homes, provided that the recipient has used up all of
his or her persoanl resources (there are a few personal assets that
they are allowed to keep).
