[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in Virginia and not low-income. He has autism and mental health issues. [/quote] Medicaid is for low income people. Why should someone making a good income be allowed to be on Medicaid? Stop trying to game the system [/quote] This program waives consideration of the family's income only for children with severe disabilities, which often require very expensive treatment (therapy, skilled nursing, visits with multiple doctors, frequent hospitalizations, etc.) that could bankrupt even families with a decent income and health insurance. To apply for it is not "gaming the system" any more than getting any other benefit to which you are entitled. Google Katie Beckett waiver to learn more. [/quote]
