[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 2737848, member: 58386"] There were many reasons why the bill didn't pass but here are two that stand out. The governor of my state made note of the fact that under the expanded Medicaid program the state was able to get thousands of people who had been on welfare all their lives and one of the reasons they were on it was the paid health insurance and move them into the 7-8-9 dollar no benefit jobs that had gone unfilled for a long time because the expanded Medicaid program still paid their health insurance so at least they were getting something back compared to nothing. But the most part of why it went down among many reasons may be something people don't realize. TWO THIRDS OF MEDICAIDS BUDGET GOES TO NURSING HOMES TO PAY FOR THE CARE OF THE PEOPLE LIVING THERE. Who among us doesn't have or has had a friend spouse or family member spend time in a nursing home ? And these are people whose personal assets have already gone to the nursing home and so they have nothing. And here comes the really bad part. Under the so called " American Healthcare Act. The Medicaid program itself was scheduled to be abolished in the year 2026. What was the nursing home supposed to do? Haul them out and dump them in field and leave them there to die? [/QUOTE]
