1)why is his daughter on welfare?
2)0mabacare database started after this happened...
The federal push for electronic medical records predates Obamacare. It was the camel’s nose under the tent.
Many low income workers are now automatically offered Medicaid. There is a cutoff and people above this line pay for the Medicaid. I know a 63-year-old single male with low income and high assets who is paying $350+/- a month for State Medicaid. A 50-year-old woman with a chronic disease is on full disability w/Medicaid. She works as she is able. If she makes above the cutoff in any month that she also accessed medical services, she is billed for the overage. The state is diligent in checking her monthly usage and income.
Medicaid is not just welfare anymore.
As I understand it, with the electronic records systems, since 2010 or so, all your records are now online and accessible to government and to providers or anyone with the personal information.
