It could have fooled me. I really can't tell the difference. Same clinics, physicians, hospitals, prescription formulary, health management company "i.e. insurance company". We are fortunate in this area to not have any problem finding providers or open appointments.
My brother lost his primary care physician and after over 50 attempts can not get one worth a damn. His doctor of ten years retired rather deal with Obamacare and he is stuck in a network that requires him to have an mri that is less then 5 years old in order to gain admission to an outside pain clinic, if he stays in network the network makes a few bucks. He tried the network pain clinic and got no help even though he has 2 inches of doctors reports stating that he is in constant chronic pain. These come from John Hopkins and the Mayo Clinic among others. His doctor who finally agreed to take him on will not order an mri. So he got his records and left him. He is not a druggie just in chronic pain. I know, I have known him for over 50 years.
A friend in another state arranged a visit to a pain clinic for him. His medicaid, though called something else will not pay a dime because it is out of network. He is totally disabled and spent his last cash for his pain meds. My family is now the last hope for him, roughly 700 bucks each month for his meds must come from us. Before Obamacare this problem did not exist.
Rest assured we will help him both financially for his drugs and with any legal costs he may incur. If Medicaid is working in your area you are fortunate, but that will change as it was designed to.
