Can poor folk still get medicaid or is it medicare ?

[initforme]

Medicaid is for poor people and yes they can.

This cannot be true. Why even mess with people?

I know someone with four kids, a fifth in the oven, and is on Medicaid for all of them. (The fathers are not in the picture.)

I'm talking about seniors in a nursing home using Medicaid. It would be bizarre to stop their payments. A complete no go.

 

[initforme]

Not you. Those that would stop payments to nursing homes because Medicaid is frozen. That's simy....wrong.

Of course they’re not stopping it. These are elderly people who are in Medicaid because they paid all their money on old age homes and now have nothing left. What would they do? Kick old folks out into the street?

Oh…..now I know what you’re talking about. They just said on the news that payments to nursing homes would continue.

Portal down?



Deliberate act by some embedded bureaucrats?

States have been frozen out of their funding from the feds. But it could be up and running again since a federal judge put a freeze on the freeze on his order at least until next Monday.

There was no funding freeze on Medicaid. The OP is fake news.

As a matter of fact I was just to the phone to Medicaid earlier today and got funding approved for a neighbor's transportation to and from Cleveland to see a specialist.

I dont believe it. america isn't about helping our seniors. Calling it out.

No, Medicaid and SNAP are still going out.

Are you a Democrat? You’re trying scare people about the big bad Orange Man.

The pause is for loans and grants. There is a lot of abuse in the Medicaid system, although not as bad as Medicare, and they want to examine how the money is being spent.

It's income based.

Then take 24 hours and figure it out. Home heating assistance? Is that safe? Or perhaps you would like seniors and poor to freeze to death.

I know that.

Deflection noted. Why not make a detailed list of things frozen or not rather than being so vague? Why didn't they do that? It's owed to the citizens.

I'm an american born citizen. You?

I'm a conservative, I am also immobile below my biceps, The VA doesn't cover my class for long term care unless I go home and have a family member as a caretaker. So they dumped me into medicaid. If I lose that, will they roll me into the street and leave me there?

 

[Blaster]

"put a freeze on the freeze" is funny!

Only temporary.
