I have a question please.

You've exposed yourself as a complete idiot. Just fucking disappear. Nobody remotely takes you seriously. It's actually getting tiresome insulting you.

You might finally be right. Calling you a cocksucker is probably a compliment for you.

^ yawn. again you don't have a Originally Posted by Sistine Chapel

I know the difference between Medicaid and "Expanded Medicaid". It's quite clear that you don't. Like I stated if you're in the state of Texas your not getting "Expanded Medicaid" because they didn't take it.

Fisting Chaps, take a seat. There. Now focus on your breathing. There, that's it. In through the nose, out through the mouth. Good. Empty your mind. (That's the easy part for you) Now just do that for three to five minutes. Then warm yourself a cup of Ovaltine, and lay down. You'll feel better. Trust me on this. It's an excellent treatment for butt hurt, snowflake whining. Consider it your personal "safe space". You lost. But now you're becoming a loser.

People on and off this board get "medicAID" confused with "mediCARE" although both have a common denominator of requiring Congressional "approval" of any modification or elimination since both are creatures of Congress.

As a general proposition it seems that Trump knows the difference between those programs that REQUIRE Congressional approvals and those specifically within the province of the executive branch, which was something Obaminable still hasn't learned even after eight years in the executive not to mention having been a "LAW PROFESSOR"!

So, ma'am, what's your point (beside the one on your head)?

1. Original Medicaid signed into law by LBJ won't be replaced. However, you have to be really poor to qualify for "Original Medicaid". To qualify you would have be a family of 4 and make less than $16,000. This is considered the poverty level.

2. To qualify for Expanded Medicaid you would have be a family of 4 and make less than $24,000. Not all states took the Expanded Medicaid money from the Fed. The state of Texas does not have Expanded Medicaid. There are only two states in the south that took it (Arkansas and Kentucky) What state does your girlfriend live in? Only 31 out of the 50 states took the ACA "Expanded Medicaid"

3. Expanded Medicaid which is a part of the ACA bill signed into law by Obama, could be replaced once the repeal is completed. The republicans like Mitch McConnell and others are saying the full replacement could take 3 years. The republicans will have to discuss in committee what the replacement bill will look like.

4. Trump did make that statement that is in post #2. The only two things that Trump has said in public about the ACA that he wants to keep is "Children can stay on their parents insurance plan until age 26 and people with pre-existing conditions can't be denied coverage.

5. I would agree with Bino that your friend will probably be okay. However, there isn't any "Expanded Medicaid" in the state of Texas. If your friend is getting help from the state of Texas it is something other than "Expanded Medicaid".

#1 .. .the lady (R.M.) didn't say a thing about "Expanded Medicaid"!

#2 ... Your own post proves you don't know the difference between the two, because you don't even know who "medicaid" covers .... (Are you a Texas resident?)

You actually cited the "LatinTimes" as your legal source?

"Medicaid provides health coverage to millions of Americans, including eligible low-income adults, children, pregnant women, elderly adults and people with disabilities."

https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/

Proving once again .... you are an ignorant, loud mouth!

Welcome to Texas:

https://hhs.texas.gov/services/health/medicaid-and-chip

I have had conversations with many single parents (or soon to be single parents) with children, who can no longer afford the health insurance offered by their employers because of the horrendous increase in premiums CAUSED BY OBAMACARELESS and they have obtained health care coverage for their children, which is required by the Texas Family Code if they cannot afford "private" health care for their children and/or the parent obligated to support the children and provide health care coverage is not doing so or can't because it is cost prohibitive.

NONE OF THEM have every complained to me they were unable to obtain health care for their children ... meaning they were denied care the children needed ... whether it be emergency room or otherwise.

I realize this quote is not from some propaganda rag you rely upon for your internet blog bullshit ... and is actually from the Texas Medicaid website stating THE FACTS ... but it further demonstrates just how full of shit you are ...

"Expansion of Medicaid Managed Care

Most people in Texas who have Medicaid get their services through managed care. In this system the member picks a health plan and gets Medicaid services through that health plan's network of providers. Most health plans offer Medicaid members extra services not available through traditional Medicaid.

Right now, there are three Medicaid managed care programs in Texas: STAR, STAR+PLUS, and STAR Health. The 2013 Texas Legislature approved several expansions of Medicaid managed care and directed HHSC to develop a performance-based payment system that rewards outcomes and enhances efficiencies. Managed care expansion plans include:

And BTW: Texas had such coverage BEFORE OBAMACARELESS was inacted. In addition Texas had a website operated by the Texas Insurance Commission where a person COULD SHOP for health insurance coverage BEFORE OBAMACARELESS!!!!

You guys will pay the price the most when nothing he promised comes to fruition. If they ever do find the smarts to repeal Obamacare and privatize social security I'm gonna feel sorry for people like you. Messing with Obamacare will be the beginning of the end for America especially since healthcare was the biggest driver of our debt.... You guys don't get it and you never have. You remind me of all the pie in the sky Bernie Sanders dreamers and its sad to me not funny at all.

So I was chatting with one of girlfriends and the subject of medicaid and Trump wanting to depose of it came up. Would anyone here know what the replacement will be? Thanks. Originally Posted by R.M.

I know this is a little off the actual topic, but I thought I might put this out. Although Health Insurance is a great concern for most Americans especially since the dawn of Obamacare. I don't think Medicare is under any threat, but unfortunately your Health is. The healing profession is a multi billion dollar industry. Treatments only approved by the FDA are administered by Doctors whether they are affective or not. Taker Cancer treatment for instance, doctors make lots and lots of money treating cancer patients. The FDA has approved three forms of treatment for cancer of all types. Radiation, Chemo and surgery. Two of these treatments have a 97% fail rate and are even known to cause cancer. To take this even further if a doctor knows of treatment that would cure your cancer he can't recommend it nor can he use it because it would be against the FDA approval and the law. In America 500,000 people will die a year of Cancer of all types and leave huge medical bills behind for their surviving families to mitigate. Not only is it important to initiate sound Healthcare but treatment that is affective as well.
