Tigeraholic1 Posted January 7 Posted January 7 I aplogize if I hurt anyones feelings. When I saw the guy being called a racist and making fun of his religion while holding a Bible as the first reaction that did not sit well. Anyways moving on. Quote
pfife Posted February 12 Posted February 12 I wondered what the Medicaid budget was and KFF said it was 880b (coincidence??) In 2023. Would this be basically 100% cut? Quote

Except for the 10% of people no longer covered or the medical providers reimbursed further below cost. 1 Quote

With Medicaid as the primary and your insurance as secondary or vice versa. There are things covered under Medicaid that aren't under traditional insurance. Going forward, who knows. Quote
