Medicaid, notMedicare, will pay for long-term nursing home care, but as anyone with a reasonable amount of street-sense should be able to anticipate, the quality of that care is very poor.
Street sense? ... lol....Nope, Medicaid patients are in the same nursing homes paying customers are in. We don't warehouse people.
About 65 percent of nursing home residents are supported primarily by Medicaid. Where do you come up with this silliness? The last 3 years of a family members live was spent in a nursing home, 74% of the residents were on Medicaid while I wrote checks for $8K a month. The care was great.
To dismantle Obamacare and go back to what I had before the lie of the century.
You must have not paid attention to what you had.....
During the Bush years.
Double digit increases most every year.
People dropped from the roles for ridiculous "pre-existing" condition.
You could be sold "bill of goods" insurance, not covering anything like reg. preventative care.
Lifetime and yearly caps...and much more.
Fewer people getting health care (many tens of millions without).
Bankruptcies for medical bills hit new records.
It will be allowed to limp along, with the GOP continually weakening it and trying to destroy it, until 2020, when the Democrats will pass Medicare For All. We just have to hang on to what's left of the ACA until then.
I will be forever grateful for Senator McCain allowing me to keep my health insurance. His last vote was for the good of all Americans. Kudos to him for that.
The GOP has absolutely nothing to offer when it comes to this issue. That has been clear for decades now. The only thing they can do is oppose, oppose, oppose. Time for them to go.
They have been working on it for 10 years and came up with nothing.
Trump: 'Nobody knew health care could be so complicated'
