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.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
