[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just found out that VA medicaid through Aetna provides a free cellphone to recipients. I find that a bizarre benefit of health insurance.[/quote] I think it makes sense for people with conditions that might require calling emergency services who can't afford cell phones, or for handicapped people who need to call for rides (although those services tend to require 24 hours notice and tend to provide horrible service). Also, perhaps for some cognitively impaired people who might need help navigating day to day interactions where verbal instructions might be enough to avoid a potentially serious situation. As a poverty alleviation measure (cell phones make getting/keeping a job easier) I could also see it, although that would be unrelated to health insurance. [/quote]
