"Bill clinton signed the Medicaid Estate Recovery Program into law as part of his deficit-reduction act in 1993. Previously, states had the right to seek repayment for Medicaid debts; the new law made it mandatory. ... Politicians such as then–House Speaker Newt Gingrich..." That's a flat lie they did there. Gingrich wasn't Speaker until 1995. Anything Clinton signed in 1993 came through a Democrat-controlled House and Senate.
