#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."

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!!!! Originally Posted by LexusLover

Basically, to qualify for "Original Medicaid" You must be a family of 4 and income less than $16,000. If you are a single mother with a kid the max you can earn is little higher. You have to be really poor even in TEXAS to be eligible for " Original Medicaid". Fact Jack!

The state of Texas DID NOT EXPAND Medicaid. If it did, then a family of 4 that makes less than $24,000 would qualify. From your Medicaid link , IDIOT!

Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that, together with the Children’s Health Insurance Program, provides health coverage to over 72.5 million Americans, including children, pregnant women, parents, seniors and individuals with disabilities. Medicaid is the single largest source of health coverage in the United States.
In order to participate in Medicaid, federal law requires states to cover certain groups of individuals. Low income families, qualified pregnant women and children, and individuals receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are examples of mandatory eligibility groups. States have additional options for coverage and may choose to cover other groups, such as individuals receiving home and community based services and children in foster care who are not otherwise eligible.
The Affordable Care Act of 2010 created the opportunity for states to expand Medicaid to cover nearly all low-income Americans under age 65. Eligibility for children was extended to at least 133 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL) in every state (most states cover children to higher income levels) and states were given the option to extend eligibility to adults with income at or below 133 percent of the FPL. The majority of states have chosen to expand coverage to adults, and those that have not yet expanded may choose to do so at any time. Click here to see if your state has expanded Medicaid coverage to low-income adults.

Texas is one of the states that did not Expand. Is that clear now?

BTW: Trump and the republicans are not doing anything with Original Medicaid that was signed into law by LBJ. The ACA expanded Medicaid, which means at a high level you do not have to be living in poverty to qualify for it. The state of Texas did not take the expansion. They are one of the 19 states that rejected it. Last point you fucking idiot. If R.M.'s girl friend lives in Texas and received Medicaid from the state of Texas, then she doesn't have to worry about what Trump and the republicans do with the ACA. Texas did not expand Medicaid and anything done with the ACA law will not affect Texas state Medicaid.

I think this should clear things up even for your Fucking Dumb Ass.

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.

What's so sad is that you are so angry. You proved that in the gay thread you wrote in Houston sand box.

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".

Before you start calling me an idiot since Medicaid was designed for pregnant women and children, go look up who pays for long term care of the elderly (hint: it's not medicare). Something like 50% of the medicaid budget is elderly long term care.

Fluffy, what gives you the right to demand that the government take my money under threat of force to pay for someone else's healthcare? I know that sounds harsh, but it's my money. I earned it. Why can't I say where it should go? Sorry, dude, but forcing someone to hand over cash under the threat of violence is theft, except when government does it. But in all honesty, the income tax is out and out theft.

What I wrote was accurate. Originally Posted by flghtr65

I'll repeat: Again, you are FULL OF SHIT.

He actually wants to tell me about "Texas law" and Texas healthcare programs! Then lecture me about them!!!! Now you do also?

Before you start calling me an idiot since Medicaid was designed for pregnant women and children, Originally Posted by preggolover89

I don't need to call you an idiot. The original purpose of Medicaid has nothing to do with the discussion that was initiated by (according to you) this most informative person on here.

Go back and look at what he said about Texas. Since you appear to be from Texas. Apparently unlike many States, Texas has had a strong health insurance program through the State government PRIOR TO THE "ACA" not only by providing consumer resources to find AFFORDABLE health care coverage on the Texas Insurance Commission website, but also for children ... and for adults and children in clinics around the State in the major metro areas.

I'll repeat what I've said before. The "ACA" was the dream of Pelosi to bailout the Californians from their bankrupt retirement insurance program for the state employees (similar to their government employee "retirement plans/bonuses" that hit the news not long before Obaminable started mouthing off about requiring everyone to be insured whether they wanted to or not.) California needed an alternative to fall back on to provide coverage the State could no longer afford.

An example (since you are from Texas) of a California bailout was the rate increase requested by Reliant Energy with the Texas Utility Commission that included THE LOSSES FROM THE UNPAID UTILITY BILLS FROM CALIFORNIA when business/people fled the state years ago from the collapse of their WELFARE STATE. So if you pay utilities ... you are also paying their UNPAID BILLS .... right along with their health insurance shortfall.

.. an initial inquiry is appropriate ...

.. just to make sure the topic is .... "oranges and oranges"

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"!
