Long lines at the ER

I agree to an extent but it's impractical from a humanitarian standpoint.
I will say this though. Anyone getting free stuff from the gubmint should be subjected to big brother watching them.
Gubmint should monitor how much Medicaid recipients spend on booze and cigs. Any amt. spent over an allowed minimum reduces their entitlement.
Rampant Medicaid abusers of alcohol and tobacco get palliative treatment only since medical care is a total waste on those people anyway.

OwlWoman, despite being a cowardly dumbass that blocks anyone disagreeing with her, explained it well. The reason those of us that are responsible enough to have coverage pay more is because those who aren't responsible abuse the system. I have no responsibility to someone that refuses to provide for themselves what is their responsibility to do.

There's no practical way to monitor such activities. It would be like trying to monitor cow farts.
 
as a small business owner with five employees I can honestly say it's the Worst goddam POS legislation I've seen in my lifetime.

Yet, the Party of the Jackass proclaimed that it was the solution! They were lying? Again?

Admittedly It would be hard to say the least.
Ill have to think about a solution. But wouldn't you agree that anyone receiving free shit from gubmint should be subjected to the severe inconvenience of being monitored?
 
That's what you will get if you end government run health care. People who can't afford health insurance will have to go emergency clinics to get treated for things their primary care doctor/specialist used to handle.

Also, all the money you saved by ending government health care will go to pay your new health insurance premium...which will be much higher.

What does it matter if you pay for the ones who don't pay when you pay taxes...or when you pay your health insurance?

There are tons of Urgent Care Clinics with reasonably priced services. Also, there are State Health Dept. Clinics where you pay on a sliding fee schedule. If one can't afford either of those, then one is eligible for Medicaid offered through the State which also offers dental services.
Three solid options against showing up in hospital emergency rooms for non-emergency care.
Period. Get over it.

I'd allow Medicaid to pay for tobacco cessation and drug/alcohol rehab if the abusers are serious about getting their full entitlement back.
I need to be King. The country needs someone with common sense to make these policies.
Great take, Doc.

I dont necessarily disagree with you but you need to add sugar and wheat to your list

Being hard would mean it could be done. It's impossible to monitor the things you mentioned.

Anyone receiving free things that taxpayers are forced to fund should get only what those doing the funding say they should get not what some politician supporting such things wants to give them in order to buy votes.

Not really. E.g., anybody and everybody in AK must show an ID to buy booze in AK, even in a bar no matter the age. They look for a stamp placed on their ID indicating if they've ever been convicted of a DWI. DWI, no alcohol, period.

A special ID can be made for buying cigs and alcohol use only. If they are a medicaid recipient it would show on the alcohol/cig ID. The amt. each person buys could be swiped and put into the system.
If the ID doesn't have the medicaid stamp on it they can buy all they want, Big Brother isn't watching those folks.
It could be done. Not easy but possible.
I need to be King. The country needs it.
 
They advertise like crazy. They have huge electronic signs out front showing the present ER waiting time. Usually no more than 10 minutes.

Ooooh OK. Yes. That goes on here as well with billboards showing the low wait time. We have quite few wonderful Urgent Care Centers all over Ocala and Gainesvillle. They send lots of mass-mail flyers in the mail. I used a real nice one for a couple years before I was 65 and got my Medicare. Marion and Alachua counties both have State Health Depts. with smaller satellite clinics spread out through the rural areas as well which is nice for all the horse farm workers.

Wrong. If you get injured or sick at the wrong time, you go to emergency and wait, wait and wait to be seen. I got hit over the eye with a racket playing racketball and had to get 8 stitches. It took about 5 hours to get it done.
