Solution: Spend more money.
Idiot Marxists: Los Angeles Times Editors
Overload the system with new Medicaid patients then cut down the reimbursements.
Build a larger constituency to push single-payer.
And this is EXACTLY the trap smart governors in Red states avoided by not accepting the “free” temporary medicaid money to expand the rolls.
This means the middle class will be paying more for doctor’s visits, lab fees, deductibles and premiums. Someone has to pay the bills. It’s why healthcare is so outrageously expensive now.
I got an education from a patient regarding California MediCal just the other day. He asked me why he should see a family doctor for a problem that would probably need x-rays, MRI or CT scan. If he goes to his family Dr. all those need prior authorization which will take 3-4 months. However, if he goes to the emergency room and knows exactly what to say he’ll get everything done in 1 day with no waiting for any prior authorizations or initiation of treatment
