No One Knows

National healthcare is moving forward but no one really knows where it is going or what it will look like. Take Medicaid for example: It is in a pickle! Here is what we know:

• States want more money to run their Medicaid programs
• Medicaid programs are a hassle for both patient and provider
• Medicaid programs continually run out of cash to pay providers 

So what is their answer to this? Put more people in the Medicaid programs. HUH? This makes no sense but it’s exactly what Florida is doing. They are going to make every Medicaid patient go through an HMO. Will this decrease the volume of healthcare treatments? NO! In fact it will increase costs…its simple: If you give everyone access to healthcare, they will …wait for it…use more healthcare. Doesn’t make sense to me, but then not much does when it comes to the government and medicine.
