Medicaid has been a hot topic in the news lately, especially with the 2024 election coming up. 1.7 million in Texas and another 342K from Ohio are losing their coverage while North Carolina, Illinois, and Kansas are expanding their coverage. A DC therapist stole $263K from the Medicaid system and Vermont is seeing and uptick in Medicaid fraud cases. These are all headlines from just the past week. Politicians often like to include Medicaid and Medicare in their election promises, but rarely have they followed through on it. Not only are we struggling at a state level to standardize Medicaid, but our Medicare system that takes care of the elderly and disabled is in serious trouble. While the system is losing money every year, the federal government is finding it difficult to administer the system. You should watch this report from NBC news on how Medicare Advantage is now routinely denying reimbursements. If hospitals and clinics will be rejected when payments are submitted, more and more locations will stop accepting it. This will factoring into the 2024 election in a huge way. https://lnkd.in/e2Qs-74e
