In reply to the discussion: HHS finalizes rule guaranteeing 100 percent funding for new Medicaid beneficiaries [View all]sheshe2
(83,835 posts)24. Damn this is good news, ProSense!
We went through much with my dad last year, when we could not continue home care.
We had to use what little money he had on much of his care, then pay for his burial expenses, morbid I know. However he had to be determined indigent before we could get help. He is 92 this year.
This ruling will make care so much easier, as it should be.

I'm not yet Medicaid poor, but I'm on the verge. He's helping us all out here.

It benefits those not eligible for Medicaid by getting people help their families can't afford.

And he still does. Many Democratic leaders and voters lives were threatened, as well.

And people you and I know, jwirr. Also the poor and elderly. Obama hasn't forgotten them.

Thanks for this, it still gives hope to those living 'default exchanges' states.
