Tell it to the democrats, Hawley.
Great. Some people just can’t handle winning.
The state of Missouri is more than allowed to pay more into Medicaid
Yeah the GOP wants to lose the Mid Terms as the economy is in the crapper and not much is being done about it.
It is worrying…
Give them an inch, and millions of illegals appear in the Treasury database.
Name names, Mr Hawley.
You know what is morally wrong, Josh. Dumping $40 trillion of debt on your children and grandchildren so you can get re-elected. If you don’t want to cut Medicaid, tell us how you are going to reduce the deficit.
That’s right, steal from productivity, and use the proceeds to pay people not to work. With friends like Hawley who needs enemies?
I have a delightful friend who provides me with homegrown tomatoes. Dear little woman who lives on less than $800 per month. Pleasant, friendly, intelligent. She’d really suffer without Medicaid.
I’m sure there are many more like her. Illegals and lazy bums should be kicked off Medicaid, but not good Americans like my friend.
You can't make it more difficult to get Medicaid unless you're coming up with an alternative that allows those on it to buy affordable insurance out of pocket.
Republicans are going to own all the problems with Medicaid and those falling through the cracks.
Sorry Josh. Those UN outhouses south of the Rio Grande are the scum that is “morally wrong”. What kind of a legitimate government would threaten to kill their populace if they don’t sneak into the U.S. looking for “a better life” and “free healthcare” and never come back without a wad of U.S. Dollars to turn into to their scumbag government.
Maybe each State should provide for its own.
Hawley joins Shroomer in admitting that medicaid is about political parties, not health care.
“Mr. Trump has promised working-class tax cuts and protection for working-class social insurance, such as Medicaid,” Hawley wrote.
That’s an element of America First.
We take care of our own before we spend billions and trillions overseas. And before we export jobs, and before importing labor. Because America First is not just a slogan.
Republican/Conservative Orthodoxy has a real hard time with this. It’s because they put following the orthodoxy above what’s good for Americans.
They’ll come along.
Conservatism without Nationalism is like Faith without Works.
Medicaid is WELFARE
NYS cost shares Medicaid with counties, Hawley.
Wanna come here and say that?
States regulate housing, doctors, physician assistants and hospitals.
The federal government shouldn’t pay for stuff states regulate.
Hawley (and all congresscritters) should focus on the waste, fraud, abuse in HHS.
Deloitte is the poster child right now. Deloitte’s IES Integrated Eligibility System used by 25 states has an EMPI Enterprise Master Person Index that is poorly designed and defective. IES was designed to respond to Obama’s poorly thought out expansion (from an IT perspective). Those IES defects were pointed out by many over 10 years ago but ignored by Deloitte.
Just 2 examples of Deloitte Master Person defects:
Deloitte EMPI shows millions of dead as active and eligible to receive Medicaid. (The dead are not limited to voting.)
Deloitte EMPI shows millions of DUPS...The same person with 2 or more Medicaid (and WIC, EBT, TANF, Sec8) accounts. Example: One as Sue Smith, A 2d as Susan Smith, a 3d as Sue Jones-Smith. Most often this is not Sue trying to double dip. This is Deloitte (and other IT contractors) billing contract services by “Capitation”...getting paid for each person in the database, including DUPS in the database.
Of course, there are some cases where the Hospital or Doctor is charging to provide the same service to both Sue and Susan. Most of this double-billing/duplicate payments is small...under $1,000. But occasionally it in the millions of dollars paid for DUPS.
Deloitte has other waste, fraud abuse. Dead and DUPS are just the easiest to explain.
