[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is MCPS required to provide medical care to students even outside school hours? I think we're asking too much from MCPS.[/quote] Exactly. There are plenty of other resources in this county for students to access. This is not something MCPS should be responsible for. [/quote] Can you please share with us where, especially without insurance or bad insurance?[/quote] Children are eligible for Medicaid. For those who are not eligible for Medicaid, there is MCHP, which also provides benefit for undocumented immigrants. https://health.maryland.gov/mmcp/chp/pages/home.aspx There are also several non-profits, that get grant money (from taxpayers) that provide no-cost or low-cost care. Like this one, for example in Silver Spring. https://www.maryscenter.org/medical/children-and-teens/pediatrics/[/quote] And, you think it’s that easy! It’s not and there are not enough Medicaid providers. [/quote] And you think it’s easy enough that MCPS should throw taxpayer money at the problem to pretend to fix it. The school system needs to focus on education. The data shows that MCPS is struggling with that goal. Our educational outcomes are abysmal. Why are you trying to force MCPS to provide additional welfare support when that is something that needs to be addressed by the County? Advocate for more Medicaid providers if you see that as an issue. [/quote]
