[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Republicans are about to gut Medicaid in next two months there won’t be Medicaid.

Do none of you read their plans they write it down [/quote]

She's talking about long term care medicaid, which is a different program and run by each state.[/quote]

Medicaid is a joint federal-state program. At least 50% of Medicaid funding in each state is federal dollars. Poorer states get higher matches. The federal government absolutely could gut Medicaid if it wanted to. [/quote]

They could, but more than likely it will focus on medicaid and not nursing home medicaid.  It's not 50-50.[/quote]

I don't know why you think "nursing home Medicaid" is separate from "Medicaid." It has separate eligibility criteria but the program is all Medicaid, its all in the same part of the Social Security Act (Title 19), its all run by the same state agencies, and the financing split (state/fed) is the same in each state whether you are talking about non-LTC or LTC. Also, the Republicans are screwing everyone over, including the elderly. [/quote]

How are republicans planning on evicting hundreds of thousands of the elderly and disabled who have been determined not to be able to care for themselves [/quote]
