The Pre-existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP) is a form of health insurance coverage offered to uninsured Americans who have been unable to obtain coverage because of a pre-existing condition. Jan 4 2019
Even though I oppose any requirement for coverage for preexisting conditions. That's like buying car insurance after you've been in an accident.
Nope, I was born an asthmatic.
This sounds to me like you're saying it's my fault that I was born with asthma and therefore insurance companies have the right to deny me coverage or make coverage so expensive that it is basically denying me coverage because I am unable to afford it.
Is this what your statement is saying?
I know someone who couldn't get coverage under Obama. He suffers from Diabetes type 1. Almost died. Later when Trump care came into play, he got coverage. Penalized under Obama but taken care of by Trump.
This is where Trump help this young man get coverage.
States allowed to add "work requirements" to Medicaid
Medicaid expansion with the federal government helped pay for states (that chose to) to expand Medicaid eligibility beyond families to include all low-income adults, and to raise the income threshold, so that more people would be eligible. So far, 37 states and Washington have opted to expand Medicaid.
Under Trump, if they get approval from the federal government, states can now require Medicaid beneficiaries to prove with documentation that they either work or go to school.
"When you consider that, less than five years ago, Medicaid was expanded to nearly 15 million new working-age adults, it's fair that states want to add community engagement requirements for those with the ability to meet them. It's easier to give someone a card; it's much harder to build a ladder to help people climb their way out of poverty. But even though it is harder, it's the right thing to do." — Seema Verma, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Washington, Sept. 27, 2018
With HealthCare.gov and the state insurance exchanges, people who gained health care coverage after the passage of the ACA — 12.7 million people — actually got their coverage by being newly able to enroll in Medicaid.
Medicaid expansion has proven to be quite popular. And in the 2018 election, three more red states — Idaho, Nebraska and Utah — voted to join in. Right now, 18 states have applied to the federal government to implement work requirements; but most such programs haven't yet gone into effect.
"The one work requirement program that's actually gone into effect is in Arkansas," says Nicholas Bagley, professor of law at the University of Michigan and a close follower of the ACA. "We now have good data indicating that tens of thousands of people were kicked off of Medicaid, not because they were ineligible under the work requirement program, but because they had trouble actually following through on the reporting requirements — dealing with websites, trying to figure out how to report hours effectively, and all the rest."
He got in because he was "work eligible".. before he made too little to buy and too much to quality.Hi visionary,
Yes, but you likely aren't reading that as saying what you think it is saying. The medicaid expansion has been allowed since the ACA went into effect. The state where your young man lives could have always covered him. In fact, the only thing that your article credits President Trump with doing is now giving states approval to make medicaid dependent on one's being gainfully employed. If any states take him up on that, trust me there will be a lot more people than your young man who will lose their medicaid eligibility. President Trump signed no law forcing states to expand medicaid. Some have just, as I wrote in my last paragraph in my last post to you, done it. But that provision making that possible didn't come from anything that President Trump did. It actually came from the provisions of the ACA that were enacted into law under President Obama. Sorry.
You did read the article right?
God bless,
In Christ, ted
