Well, well, well. You did some homework and learned to difference between Medicare and Medicaid, proving that you are not a total dolt after all. And yes they are both government funded, but we already knew that. However, your contention that Medicare was expanded under the ACA, and your apparent insistence that the ACA is somehow related to the issue of senior financial difficulties is just plain stupid. I'll give you a C- on your assignment, and that is being generous.Differences between Medicare and Medicaid - Medicare Interactivedid the ACA cause an expansion in them or not? I just gave you evidence it did. both government programs correct? paid for with tax dollars correct?Holy Shit!! You don't even understand that Medicaid and Medicare are entirely different programs!!"Three main ACA changes lead to Medicaid enrollment gains. Medicaid expansion to low-income adults. The ACA expands Medicaid eligibility to adults with incomes at or below 138 percent of the poverty line, which is just over $16,000 per year for an individual today.May 5, 2014"what is it you need explained for your lesson today?
How is the ACA Impacting Medicaid Enrollment?
"New data released by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) shows that as of the end of March 2014, Medicaid and CHIP enrollment had increased by over 4.8 million people since open enrollment began for the new Health Insurance Marketplaces in October 2013. These data help provide a better understanding of how the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is impacting Medicaid enrollment,"
No, just Medicaid.
nit picking to me. LOL. both government funded no matter how you fking slice it. and they increased due to the ACA.
- "Medicare is a federal program that provides health coverage if you are 65 and older or have a severe disability, no matter your income.
- Medicaid is a state and federal program that provides health coverage if you have a very low income.
- If you are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid (dually eligible individual), you can have both, and they will work together to provide you with health coverage at very low cost to you."
