[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Were you all aware that disabled minor children with wealthy parents and private health insurance qualify for Medicaid even as children? I understand why they get special preschool, but if they get an ear infection or break an arm, Medicaid pays, not their parents private health insurance. They also qualify for food stamps.

And before anyone says it isn’t true, in Virginia at least it definitely true. [/quote]
I am one of those “wealthy parents”.  do you know the additional costs special needs require? The therapies insurance doesn’t pay for or only 80%? The care they need because they can never be left alone because of their  seizures?

Parents of special needs. Children are not living on the high on hog through Medicaid.

Medicaid is for poor people.  Your child is not poor. Millions of parents have children who have regular doctors visits, PT, OT, Speech, therapy visits, specialized medication and those people still have to meet their deductibles, pay their office visit and prescription copays and pay fully for additional visits that insurance does not cover. It's a huge expense for many families. Why are they not covered too? My good friend's child is disabled. If he gets an ear infection unrelated to his disability, she does not even pay the co pay or the Rx cost. That makes zero sense, and even she agrees. [/quote]

So EVERYONE on Medicaid should be cut off because of your good friend's child?? Perhaps there is a reg requiring them to have to use Medicaid for all treatments as oppose to pick and choose.

Just please stop.[/quote]

Nobody said that lady. But there are people on Medicaid that shouldn’t be and we all know it. And now it’s going to be sorted out finally. [/quote]

Nothing is going to be “sorted”. You are going to let thousands of people die for every one person who abuses the system (and FYI, it’s hard to abuse this system.)  Do you know ANY big program or organization where some a-hole doesn’t take advantage?  You can’t run any big program without having some of that. And if THAT upsets you, wait until you hear about how our current president is abusing the system for his personal profit!

And this is going to shut down more rural hospitals and cancer treatment centers that make a large portion of their income on Medicaid patients.  And their employees will
lose their jobs and move to cities.  Rural areas are going to have very little healthcare at all.

Enjoy living in the Middle Ages again.  [/quote]
