Medicaid expansion has been touted as a solution to the problem of uninsured Americans, but the reality is that it's a flawed policy with significant negative consequences.
This is probably going to be the snobbiest thing I ever write in my life, but it's how I feel. If I am paying full price for private insurance, I want to go to doctors and medical establishments who don't accept Medicaid. These options should be offered. I have an adult disabled son who uses Medicaid because his medical costs are such that no normal family could afford them. He has a lifelong disability. Because I am forced to take him to places that accept Medicaid, I can firmly attest that these facilities are inefficient, crowded, dirty, and depressing. If I have to pay taxes and pay for insurance, I feel like there should be some benefit for pulling the weight. I know it's not nice to feel this way, but I do.
Where is Medicaid expansion now in MS and how can we stop it?
the medicaid expansion bill is in the Senate. Call your State Senator and tell them to kill the bill. https://www.legislature.ms.gov/legislators/senators/ You can also email every senator at Senators@senate.ms.gov
