Hey, are you one of the 9.7 million Americans who have been put onto the Medicaid rolls since 2013 mostly as a result of theAffordable Care Act?
Congratulations! But that and $2.75 will get you one ride on the New York City subway.
That's because finding a doctor who accepts Medicaid payments – never all that easy to do even before 2013 – is getting harder than ever thanks to a steep drop in reimbursement rates for doctors who treat patients on Medicaid.
When I say "steep," I mean it. We're talking an average of 43 percent nationwide and almost 60 percent in California. Incidentally, California has added 2.7 million more people to Medicaid since 2013.
The result is simple: more and more doctors are simply not accepting Medicaid patients and/or dropping the ones they already have. . .

Get ready for the Cuban doctors.
Indian and Pakistani. Already have practices here in NE FL. I’m sure they will take medicaid.
The poor used to have medical care but no insurance (I was one of them several decades ago). Now they have insurance but no medical care. Obama promised change, and he delivered.
My Drs. office informed me that I can’t get an appointment for 7 weeks because he had to cut down on the number of Medicare patients he can see in a month. i understand because when I look at my EOB I see how much they get reimbursed. I totally understand.

Yes, but the good news is that online courses are available on youtube.
Help is around the corner. O’s $750B cuts over 10 years will make Medicare more efficient, cheaper, more responsive, more flexible, more user friendly and the seasoned citizens will be much more happier!
Welcome to the Socialist world of "Rationed Care". ,br> It sucks , doesn't it ?
Notice when Obadinga had a sore throat- he got right in !
And he got an X-ray.
Some pigs are more equal than others ".
Really ticks me off that he goes to a military hospital ... ahole should go downtown DC to one of the civilian clinics ... he can practice his Pakistani while waiting for his appointment.
Our son has inoperable cancer and stopped working in Oct 14. His insurance ran out on 31 Dec. Doctors say they can't stop treatment despite lack of insurance.
he has zero assets/money and medicaid enrollment attempts claim he is not eligible despite being approved for SS disability (first check won't hit until May).
Trying to enroll him in ObamaCare, but he may be one of those who isn't eligible for anything who keeps getting treatment "free", especially since he can't afford any sort of payments for coverage/deductibles.
