    Most people eligible for medicaid can’t afford a lawyer to set one up often times though.

      I wonder how hard it would be to create an organization that does that sort of work. And focus it at poor people

      Yeah the Medicaid asset limits are rather low, though they do exclude a primary residence and one vehicle in the calculation. They also do an assessment going back 5 years to ensure you haven’t given away money/assets or sold assets at below market value.
