[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5895402, member: 58386"] What would you have done if the government had quit spending on charity healthcare in your case and the hospital would have demanded full payment up front? You see VT under federal law a hospital cannot deny care and services even if the person cannot pay. Medicaid then becomes the healthcare provider's only way to get paid other than to overcharge insurers who then pass it down to subscribers which in reality is a hidden tax. The only recourse is to change the law requiring the patient to provide proof of payment ahead of the service either through insurance or putting up a surety bond backed by personal assets. What I often see today with MAGA's is that they want the full benefit of the nation's social welfare programs but don't want another person with a situation similar if not identical to their own to receive any benefits for fear that the money for that program will run out before they can get any. That's not conservatism or fiscal responsibility....that's greed. [/QUOTE]
