Three billion dollar cuts in Texas Health insurance is not going to work out well for those who depend on it. What are the reason really to do all of this? There are over 320,000 people who are low income and are dual eligibles for Medicare and Medicaid. Yes it saves the state a whole lot of money; almost a half million dollars, but what will happen to all the practices that only see these type of patients? It would be a major bombshell for practices to have to close their doors on these low-income patients due to malfunctions on behalf of the state. Yes I said malfunctions and I say this because no one seemed to have thought of the high risk of dual coverage in health insurance before putting it in place and now these people do not have the option to agree or disagree.
I looked up those who qualify for dual coverage in Texas and it is for people who are over the age of 65 who have worked for a minimum of 10 years! Our seniors do not deserve this treatment. If you are a politician in office who chose to make these cuts, in my honest opinion you should not be in office. There are so many other cuts that could be made and I'm quite sure there could have been some other way to go about fixing this matter. I am praying for all those in Texas and the other 18 states who has suffered and I know this can't be the final solution. Where are the financial advisors on this healthcare issue? If I am wrong about this issue please tell me because I would love to hear more information on this as well as if someone know anything else more inform me.
