The matter is the requirements, such as the changes in the bill being talked about being made to those. You wrote that doctors had a say in that, but they don't. Reading comprehension.
See? Moving those goalposts there my friend. Did anyone say everyone gets what they want? Why, as I do reread these posts, no, no one did. Cute attempt though.
An income bracket shouldn't be applied to welfare eligibility? That's an interesting concept.
thank you they are throwing you off ONLY if you do not meet reasonable requirements and/or are not here legally
Define "reasonable requirements." How are these determined?
People not in the country legally are already ineligible for Medicaid.
Yes, but the people they are "throwing off are not meeting perfectly reasonable rules. It would be one thing if they were throwing people off who needed it through no fault of their own disabled, elderly those type people it is another thing to kick people off who will not even TRY to meet basic work requirements or to tighten up the rules to ENSURE that only people here legally receive it. People can say all day long that people here illegally do not receive it, but ANYONE who is here illegally who for whatever reason did manage to get on needs to be kicked off.
Reasonable requirements meaning those who CAN work do work/volunteer or go to school at LEAST half-time suit me if it were full time though it is not Any time you are benefiting directly from a government needs based program so snap, medicaid section 8, SSI NOT SSDI it is the government's business how you are using that money/services. I WILL say that even if you are on SSDI it is the government's business jpw much you are able to EARN from working but not therwise. However, SSI/SSDI is a topic for another thread.
Tomorrow is Trump's deadline it will be interesting to see what will happen if the Republicans cannot meet it.
Why? Incidentally, someone working full-time would likely exceed the income restrictions for Medicaid.
Of course - that's why all Medicaid claims are subject to review. I'm not sure what that has to do with whether or not people should get benefits in the first place though.
Well, if the person is able bodied, mentally stable and has no dependants then that person can work. If the person does have dependants then I guess you look at factors about the dependants and any other factors Moreover,, in some states Medicaid is not worth taking ayway if I aam a doctor Medicare makes more sense to take that is just fact may be part of why when an elderly/disabled person has both MEDICARE covers 4/5 ( and I know because I have looked it up to determined whether it was worth fighting as someone who is on both.
Right. Again, that requires a significant amount of bureaucracy to manage. You need to have doctors to confirm that a person is able-bodied and mentally stable (and the visits to make those determinations must be paid for somehow), you need to have inspectors to spot check those doctors for fraud, you need admin staff to process the paperwork, you need data storage to hold onto it, and so on and so forth. The more requirements you add in order to receive benefits, the more it costs to administer those requirements, and, again, the more people slip through the cracks who should qualify, but can't get the paperwork done for whatever reason. If you want to cut costs by implementing restrictions, you need to show that the actual cost savings are greater than the costs of implementing the cost-saving measures - and that you're not going to end up killing a significant number of people by dropping their coverage unnecessarily.
or you can put it on the PERSON to prove it. In other words, kinda of like how in a criminal trial it is on the state to prove the person guilty, but for disability it is on the PERSON to prove they are disabled to get benefits, so in that way it could be that a person is assumed to not qualify until THEY prove otherwise. Maybe even have them pay out of pocket keep records if you win you get your money back if you lose you do not.
as someone ON medicaid I would not advise that. It is CRAZY, not worth taking and frankly too much red tape. I have had private insurance, medicare and medicaid and geuss the order of the service hint it was ot the government though MEDICARE is better because there is less red tape and it is actually WORTH taking as a doctor.
Yes as if you do not do the job you will be let go and would deserve it.
