I am all for saving money wherever we can, but it doesn't work when it hurts businesses within the healthcare industry. Bisan sa Medicaid, dako pud kaayo ning problemaha. Some drugstores and doctors have begun turning away Medicaid patients, just because Medicaid payments take so long, and the providers are reimbursed for way below acquisition costs and service fees. Kinsa man dili magdaut ang kalag ana, ang drugstore mobayad ug $5 for a drug from a supplier, unya $4 ra ang ibayad sa Medicaid (sometimes, also Medicare). No business can operate for long under those circumstances. There has to be a solution aning problemaha that can be a win-win scenario for everyone. What that solution is, who the heck knows. But healthcare in the US is a big, big problem...a volcano just waiting to erupt.
