[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, the elderly won’t be able to use Medicaid if they run out of money. They won’t meet the work requirements. They will have to be cared for in the family home. The people who truly need it won’t qualify, because they can’t work due to disability or illness or whatever. Those who can find a job for 80 hrs a month won’t qualify because they aren’t going to adjust the income limit every year like they should. [/quote] And being “cared for in the family home” means having available family members to provide and facilitate such care — which means they won’t be working to meet the requirements for their own health care. It really is a problem for a wide array of non-rich people to have healthcare policy made by people whose own healthcare is subsidized by tax dollars. Many elderly people don’t have a “family home” or even available “family” — with all of the resources that can go along with that. I guess the plan is to just die in the streets? [/quote]
