I keep hearing how Obama is doing wonders for health care but, I got cut from medicaid today. I don't even know how I got dropped. I make approximately 0 dollars and I'm nearly eligible for disability. This blame Pat McCrory for this wrong doing.

 

 

But in all seriousness anyone else think this state and health care in general is going to poo?

Yet a 28 year-old high school drop out junkie who has 14 kids gets medicaid and all kinds of assistance so she can get herself a new smart phone with the money she got at McDonald's.

I seriously don't understand it.. I think if I had a few kids and went to jail once or twice the government would be more open to helping me out with health care or something..

"North Carolina is one of 14 states with governors who have said their states will opt out of the Medicaid expansion provision of the Affordable Care Act."

 

http://www.wral.com/loss-of-medicaid-funding-hitting-nc-group-homes-residents/12446327/

"Thousands of disabled and elderly people across North Carolina remain in Medicaid limbo as assisted living facilities and groups homes scramble to deal with mandated service cuts."

 

McCrory has decided North Carolina will not participate in medicaid expansion, which basically whacks the federal portion of assistance provided to those states who went with the expansion.

Well that pretty much explains it.

Your situation doesn't sound good, and I feel for you, but I'm curious, how did you use it?

 

A hospital can't turn you away right?

 

I need a little more info here.

I used it to go to the doctor, but only when I really need to go. I went to the hospital every now and then when I'd hurt myself. I'm a very accident prone person, on top of that I feel like I'm always getting sick with some random thing.

 

I'm not going to die without it or anything. Many people need it more than me. I just can't understand how I got dropped.

Medicaid is designed for families with kids whose parents are under the poverty line.  It is also used to help folks who are disabled, lost their jobs or for temporary emergency situations.

It is not designed for single working people, college students or folks who can't or don't work unless they stay home because of kids.

 

Does it get abused by people? yes.  Do people lie about their income, use it inappropriately and take advantage of the system?  Absolutely.  But it is not designed to provide healthcare to everyone.

 

Medicaid takes up more of the state budget than most other things besides education.

 

If you get cut off sometimes it is due to the fact that you didn't send in the paperwork to get reinstated.  Sometimes the situation that you got medicaid initially changed and you are no longer eligible. When I first started out, the reason I sometimes worked in crappy jobs with long hours for not that great pay was for the health benefits. As a college student I went to school full time and worked a full time job because of the benefits and need for money.

      Most hated teams

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
