Are you aware of how difficult it is to obtain Medicaid? If it is put into a block grant, there is going to be no way that there will be enough money for all those in need. [/quote]
Dp. Not it’s not. [b]I just got my state’s version of Medicaid for my newly arrived father.[/b] It was a 3 month wait but it wasn’t hard. [/quote]
He's not a citizen but gets medicaid? How does that work?[/quote]

It works in a state where anyone income eligible can get the state Medicaid. Even before the expansion to illegal immigrants (which my father isn’t) green card holders were eligible (my father is one). Now, anyone can get it if they are poor, and it made the wait times extremely long. [/quote]

You could get MediCal (Ca version of medicaid) 30+ years ago if you were a green card holder.  As it should be.  My IL did, despite never having worked in the US.  I Figure we paid in more than enough in our lifetime for whatever family got (they were only here for 7 years), given that we likely will never see anything as the programs are gutted
