Lisa,

You've brought up a valid point. I have started a new thread addressing Medicaid. I am trying to prepare for the life ahead of me with being placed on a vent. Frankly, it is scary as Hell to plan for. For my life and living arrangements Medicaid is a joke.

From where I stand and looking into the near future, going to a vent is a double edge sword. I want to be in my sons life for as long as I can but, with the Medicaid qualifications I am better off dead. I have my ex-wife (aka... Spawn) receiving my son's monthly Social Security (SS) benefit. If I am dead the Spawn will receive my full $1,793.00 per month until my son turns 18 years of age. Catch-22.

Jeff
