As Ron DeSantis Barnstorms New Hampshire, Thousands Of Floridians Lose Health Insurance

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ron-desantis-floridians-losing-medicaid-coverage_n_647a5010e4b045ce2488aa46 


Florida’s Ron DeSantis is now officially a candidate for president, and so far his campaign is going about as expected. 

The Republican governor has decried the “malignant ideology” of the left and “the woke mob,” and he’s promised to make the rest of America more like his “free state of Florida.” He has suggested that Disney is trying to brainwash America, and he’s gone after former President Donald Trump too, albeit indirectly, by urging Republicans to “dispense with a culture of losing” during an appearance in New Hampshire. 

These are the subjects DeSantis wants to discuss and, quite possibly, the ones that matter most to Republican primary voters. But there’s another topic in the news that could use some attention. 

Over the past few weeks, roughly a quarter-million Floridians have lost health insurance coverage through Medicaid. And that’s just the beginning. In the coming months, even more Medicaid beneficiaries in Florida could lose their coverage as well ― with many, and quite possibly most, ending up uninsured altogether.

Read the link retards.

It’s impossible to know exactly which Floridians are losing coverage and why. In all likeliness, some truly don’t qualify for Medicaid anymore. But only 18% of those losing coverage in the state were definitively determined to no longer qualify. The rest were disenrolled for “procedural” reasons ― meaning that something in their paperwork was off.

 

Nothing to do with DeSantis.

Let's all remember the dipshits on this forum PRAISING the Affordable Care Act.  And how Obama was going to save the HC of America.  Bunch of fucking no minds and now they finally see the results of that.  Road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Yeah they suck too.  Pierced my hand with a rusty nail a few years ago, walk in there for a tetanus shot.  2 hours later and 550 bucks out of pocket.  For a fucking tetanus shot.

I read an article recently that stated most people who go to the doctor/hospital fear their medical bills more than their actual disease, etc.

Until you start controlling who gets treatment, what technology is available and how much people get paid we will always have the most expensive HC.  There is a reason people come from all over the world to the US to get treatment.   Its good and available in a timely manner.  Yes US citizens leave but generally for cheaper cosmetic or treatments not yet approved by our FDA.  

Also a significant % of the worlds medical innovations come from the US for a variety of reasons one being they are profitable.
