are going to be affected? say there there and give em a pat on the back. refer them to what health care will still be available. ask for their vote and....money. Suppose there are many options. Then again maybe most of those
affected won't realize it for a while. it will be interesting times for sure.

They also need to be working with states to pick up some of the federal cuts, particularly for those covered now by expansion.

(628 posts)Fewer Medicaid insured means fewer insured to spread health insurers overhead costs across. This means more no insurance patients showing up and urgent cares and emergency rooms, whose costs get spread across the patients who do have insurance. This means that every one of us will have higher healthcare costs, because our insurance costs are guaranteed to go up.

If I am not mistaken, this bill also changes what an ER can do for nonpaying patients. Currently, I have seen the triage nurse in our ER try to convince people to go home because they are not that sick.
