Medicaid... Sucking the seniors property and income without care. Anyone, besides LT, EVER apply for Medicaid ? Ever watch a small sized fortune be sucked dry in the blink of an eye ?

For some, Medicaid may be ok but my experience is two times horrible.

Medicaid is reasonable for hospitals, but exceptional for use in public health centers. If I recall correctly, hospitals get 50 to 70% reinbursement for medicaid patients. Thus, all things beng equal, they do not get as good of care there and thee hospitals are shortchanged.

 

Public health centers, they get enhanced reinbursement, so the centers generate more income and are more welcoming of such patients.

 

If I am recalling things correctly...
