Really? Every patient has a Medicaid card. Usually, the state is billed directly for services rendered and the patient never sees a bill. It is single payer health care for the low income population.

Really what? I don't understand what you're disputing/saying. Who said the patient ever sees the bill?

Everything is computerized. No one keeps health care records in manila binders anymore. Payment info can now be electronically sent to the state.

That’s what I saw when I went to the hospital for outpatient care.
