EACH STATE HAS A DIFFERENT MEDICAID PROGRAM.
ALL THE STATE DETAILS OF THEIR PROGRAMS NEED TO BE REVEALED IN TOTAL.
CALIF IS GIVING PEOPLE RENT $$$ & DOWN PAYMENT $$$ FOR BUYING A HOUSE.
ALSO GROCERY $$$$—SEPARATE FROM EBT.
ON MEDICAID !!!!!!!
HOW ABOUT AN ICE VAN IN FRONT OF EVERY WESTERN UNION LOCATION???
SELF EMPLOYED PERSONS PAID DOUBLE—AS EMPLOYER & AS EMPLOYEE.
THE 7.65% SOC SEC & MEDICARE deducted from your paycheck gets doubled by employer paying the same amount.
SELF EMPLOYED PERSONS PAY IT ALL=== 15.30 %
We’re gonna need more ICE vans....
“While I agree medical care should have been obtained in their home country, the fact remains they are the human in front of you. Perhaps we should be demanding payment from their country of origin.”
I have advocated that for years. Since almost everybody in the world gets foreign aid from us, simply deduct the cost of their medical care from what we suckers are sending them, and pay the hospitals.
“2) Eliminate all restrictions on medical practice by physicians and surgeons.”
Doesn’t that open the door for those who will mutilate children in the name of Trans?
“Medicaid is free care for the “poor”. Since it is free, it is abused by definition. People abuse it just because, why not use free care? Plus, there is massive potential for real fraud, lots of people are getting rich of it!”
If you live long enough, or are sick enough to need continuing care, you will be quickly impoverished. And you qualify for Medicaid, but you will be living off your fellow taxpayers.
That door is wide open now, in fact, states are revoking licenses of doctors who object.
I think the chances of doing anything about this through political action of any kind are slim at best, however, in England where the hospitals are nationalized, surgical mutilation of children has been abolished.
With an unregulated market for surgical facilities, there is zero chance of a ban, as long as $$ are involved.
EASY ENOUGH THE PUSH FOR EV’S LEAVES GOOD COMMERCIAL VANS AVAILABLE.
IF NOTHING ELSE-—DOUBLE DECK CATTLE TRAILERS WILL WORK.:)
Well, there is even bunch of lawyers and money managers who advise you how to impoverish yourself to get to Medicaid?!
Only honest people, who saved their whole life, are getting the wrong end of the stick, like usual!
Obama enrolled to Medicaid everybody and their Chinese brother too.
I would shut Medicaid altogether, but I would say, there are some out of luck citizens, who may be legit.
However out of that giant budget, which is bankrupting the nation, a lot of money can be cut, just by getting rid of the fraud and waste!!!
And everybody can afford small copayment!
You would be surprised, how much healthcare will not be needed, if somebody would have to pay a dollar for a visit!
>Your post is opinion not fact
Incorrect. The FACT that SS is an extra-Constitutional Ponzi scheme is NOT in dispute. That the ‘govt established’ means *checks notes* NADA vs. A1S8, let alone 5th, 9th, 10th, 13th & 14th A.
That govt ‘pledges’ {X} is also moot. It can do as it wishes w/ TAXES (long as constrained via Constitution)
If person {X} wishes to SAVE, or not, that is NOT up to govt to determine, let alone mandate.
>SELF EMPLOYED PERSONS PAID DOUBLE—AS EMPLOYER & AS EMPLOYEE.
Yes, taxed for each side of the SS-Ponzi coin. *shrug*
Govt LOVES to twist the knife when it can.
How much does Medicaid overpay for services? That is, if a checkup costs $50 (hypothetical number), and someone that walks in pays $50, then Medicaid should pay $50 and only $50. Same with insurers. But we know that pricing on medical services are not applied even close to equally among various entities.
Most things should have a price list like a menu at a restaurant. Granted, some procedures may require more or less care, time, and effort - but that should be known too.
My sense is that Medicaid payments are less inflated than any other type of medical payment. But the excesses are huge. I remember in NYC the reports of how recipients would call for an ambulance to take them to routine doctors appointments—because it was free to them.
Sorry Charlie.
You are twisting definitions to ft your world view.
Go in peace. Perhaps we will agree better another day.
