(CNS News.com) — The Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) reported this week that enrollment in Medicaid will reach 100 million in about 76 days, based upon its enrollment countdown clock. However, the FGA also reported that an amendment in the omnibus spending bill will allow states to reevaluate who is eligible for Medicaid and that 21 million enrollees currently are considered to be ineligible.
Because of the COVID pandemic and federal legislation on Medicaid coverage, the number of enrollees in the program substantially increased, according to the FGA, and states were barred from redetermining who was eligible for Medicaid for two years.
Medicaid is a federal- and state-funded program that helps pay the health care costs of individuals and families who are poor, in low-income brackets. States have broad discretion in determining who is eligible, or not, for Medicaid.
The amendment in the omnibus bill will “allow states to restart eligibility checks in their Medicaid programs starting April 1, 2023,” reported the FGA, a non-profit, multi-state think tank.
Currently, 96,216,146 Americans are enrolled in Medicaid and that number is expected to hit 100 million in about two months.
How many are the Illegals Biden let in ????
Make sure ILLEGALS don’t get ANY of OUR Benefits !!!!!!!!
And my husband and I are paying $600.00 a MONTH for a supplemental insurance to Medicare. Where is the fairness of all this? It’s not that we can afford to pay that much, but feel we have no choice in paying co-pays and deductibles. We have both worked all our lives and we can get NO help at all.
