Ginnie, I believe it is not the Medicare portion of your benefits that has asset restrictions. It's SSI and Medicaid. It should explain your benefit type on your award letter.
Even those receiving SSI can retain their own home as explained in this link.

If she is not confusing Medicare with Medicaid, and SSDI with SSI, then the only other answer I have is that there is Medicare for Ginnie with these restrictions and then there is Medicare for everyone else, including the wealthy, that has no limits on total assets. Wealthy people use Medicare every day. But they don't get Medicaid.
