The responsibility will fall to the family members who usually step up, and the rest who are selfish and shirk responsibility won't give a shit and remain MAGA.

Oh, I'm already looking forward to Boomers giving Millenials one last gut punch as they (literally) leave this world...

"As of 2025, the following states have filial responsibility laws in place: Alaska, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia."

Coloring may be wrong on a couple states. But y'all get the drift.

I'd be curious to see what the actual law says in those states. I have no idea, but I do know that in North Dakota what the statute says is that there is filial responsibility, but basically only in those instances where there has been a shift in assets to avoid paying that debt. So, if mom and dad give the kids the farm and then claim poverty and an inability to pay their medical bills, the kids who received the farm may be held responsible.

My oldest brother, living in Georgia, is in hospice care for Alzheimer’s. He’s a 24-year vet, so all of these extra factors in play, I’m not sure how this plays out. My SIL, who I know keeps voting R, because of her investments, she says, has to be concerned. My brother is pretty far progressed, so it has to be heavy on her mind. I’m not broaching the topic with her, no need to poor vinegar and rub slat on her wound.

If you've tuned into CSPAN anytime in the last 2 hours and found yourself slapping the side of the TV, wondering why the screen isn't changing, here's what's happening...

Right now they don't have the votes so they refuse to gavel the procedural vote as it would force the issue. The Freedumbers are holding for now.
 
With more and more of the bill details being released, it was interesting to see that currently ICE has a $10 Budget but with money being earmarked for deportations, new officers, and new facilities, it ballooned to $100+ Billion dollars.

Which is *double* the US Marines budget in this bill. (ICE currently is 1/8th the staff of the Marines.)

Agreed. Im sure each state has their quirks to this law.

However, its still going to bite a whole group of people in the ass that weren't expecting it.

I mentioned that earlier but it’s going unnoticed because the Dem leadership doesn’t really care about that and the media is too distracted to notice.

They want their SS and now they’re getting it.

The stuff in the GOP bill is some of the clearest ever examples of "if you explain what Republicans are doing in straightforward factual terms an otherwise under-informed normie will think you have entirely lost your mind and can't be trusted"

It is worth noting that Texas has put in more solar than I believe all states not named California combined over the last couple years IIRC

Jesus. I’m sorry man. That seems really early onset. Horrible.

This will be the biggest "touch the stove" moment so far...

And yea, I expect many of them to not give a rats ass about it since it's not quite directly influencing them directly... Grandma Janie was already in rough shape, so her losing her nursing home wasn't a big deal.

If they do start raging about it, somehow it'll all be the Democrat's fault.

Always is.
