[quote=Anonymous]I've been looking at the Medicaid bill in detail. A lot of it is intended to make it harder for people to even enroll, gets rid of the 3 month lookback when applying for medicaid (usually they will cover medical bills going back 3 months), the whole pain is to make it burdensome and difficult (while they also get rid of efforts to improve rural internet). People will give up, they will get sicker, they will end up in the hospital where social workers help them re-apply for benefits which they will again have trouble maintaining. Rural providers will be even more hard hit.

Some of this is because a very large percentage of Medicaid recipients are in managed care--either through medicaid expansion or because medicaid pays for their medicare advantage coverage, which should be prohibited if on medicaid. This can lead to overpayment through autopayments when people move to a different state or pass away. But that's an issue for insurers and the federal agency to resolve, not put it on the backs of the poor. 
More regs for the poor and none for the rich is apiece of this. [/quote]
