It can be difficult to find a doc who will take medicaid patients as they often don’t get reimbursed by our government.

Our daughter was dropped by a doctor we were using after she became eligible for a medicaid program, this even though she is also on Medicare and is on our supplemental health insurance. He was certain to be paid, but did not want to touch it. The uncertainty that all this is causing! Like airline pilots, doctors are learning that the gravy days are going away.

True that. My GP recently told me he hasn't seen a Medicaid patient in years. "No money in it." Exact quote.
