First of all, the uncle could be Mexican or French.
Secondly, devolving one's inheritance to someone else is completely legal (at least in my country).

They are paying for the insurance, not for the healthcare!
I don't know why is so hard for Americans to understand the difference.
So instead of having a State run system to give the people the best healthcare possible, they use a large amount of money to pay private institutions and still have shitty health care[0], while also spending more than anybody else [1]
Then you wouldn't be inheriting anything in the legal sense of the word. That's why it's a contrived scenario -- it doesn't exist in reality.
Besides, the point is moot, as Medicaid nursing home care isn't Medicaid medical care, which is what the original topic was about.
> My parents were nurses, they weren't completely poor so they surely had to pay for it, but not rich either.
The government here heavily subsidizes the healthcare plans of people near poverty (up to 4 times the poverty level), not just the poor.
