If you have medical necessity, Medicaid pays for long term nursing homes once you meet their financial requirements (spend down assets and have low enough income).
Some nursing homes specialize in medicaid patients, which isn't much different than a government funded nursing homes IMHO.
I fully agree that's the case. I was more addressing the idea of the government providing the services directly and cutting the private providers out of the loop
