    That’s the point.

    Make no mistake about it - the goal here is not to get Medicaid recipients to work. The explicit goal is to provide an additional excuse for denying coverage.

      I was in the medical insurance industry for a number of years. Its such a cold calculation. glad I am out. Also glad im in an area where all this is covered if God forbid I get it.

      If one finds themselves in that situation: you can get life insurance and cash out if you get Cancer. “accelerated death benefit”
