[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]

Yes. That's a way to trim the cost of Medicaid, SS and Medicare. Make it so difficult to use that many qualified people won't be using it.[/quote]

So these beneficiaries who were competent and capable enough to enroll are not competent or capable enough to maintain enrollment?  Or, maybe, the current lax standards for enrollment led to fraud?[/quote]
