Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Medi*care* the insurance program that
goes with being on Social Security, and Medi*caid* the health insurance
program that goes with being on AFDC (or whatever it's now called)? 

And Medicare is the entitlement program that goes with having paid all
those FICA taxes, but Medicaid is funded from the current budget?

So the original poster's mother will be eligible for Medicare, no matter
what, but only for Medicaid if she gives away her assets and "becomes"
poor?
