[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why will the medicaid provisions hurt rural hospitals?  Is it because there are no jobs for the able-bodied to do, thus they cannot meet the work requirements?  Or is it that illegal alien farm workers / factory workers are on Medicaid in these rural areas?[/quote]

Because their patients will no longer have any way to pay for care.[/quote]

What specific provisions of the bill would make their patients ineligible for Medicaid? [/quote]

Read the bill. The GOP is installing new barriers to receive monies.[/quote]

I have - able-bodied must work and no illegals.  What else am I missing?[/quote]

The administrative requirements are so burdensome that even people eligible for the program may not be able to enroll. That’s a feature, not a bug. Republicans don’t want people to use Medicaid or food stamps, even if they are eligible. [/quote]

What administrative requirements are too burdensome?[/quote]

It’s been repeatedly abandoned and deemed a failure in states where they have tried it. Websites don’t work, people can’t get hold of staff to correct problems, compliance trickier with things like gig work or other jobs with variable hours, people with “non-permanent” disabilities (like down syndrome) have to routinely prove they have a non-permanent disability with all of the paperwork and doctor visits that entails and so on.

The point is to wear people down and give up on Medicaid.  Not to get them to work.
