[quote=Anonymous]I'd even take it a step further and say that in many instances, the Medicaid people ARE getting the exact same medical care - and by by the same provider - as the middle- class person paying full freight. And in some cases....BETTER.

To use myself as an example, I go for physical therapy twice a week and pay well over $100 a session. It's supposed to last three months. (This is addition to my monthly premiums.) The Medicaid patient, waiting next to me, is also getting PT - yet she pays nothing for it, and neither of course does she pay any premiums. So, we are getting the identical care, only that I will have to drop to once weekly starting in November because I just cannot afford to pay $1500 a month (sessions + premiums). The Medicaid patient can continue with the superior 2x weekly regimen. So the Medicaid patient is actually getting superior care.

P.S. The patient next to me told me she was on Medicaid after I complained how my Obamacare insurance wouldn't pay out because I hadn't reached the deductible. That's how I know.[/quote]
