(21,871 posts)22. Battling them on Nextdoor
about Medicaid cuts. The pattern is obvious as they hate people who use Medicaid. They are assumed to be frauds and get this - living on the dole!
I am swatting them with the truth that the only people to receive checks from Medicaid are the medical providers. They assume people are being paid by Medicaid?
They have apparently been told that illegal immigrants are getting lots of Medicaid.
They have been told there is massive fraud and abuse, not understanding that it is the billing by medical personnel that is committing the fraud if there is any.
They are committed to their hate and feel no compassion for others.
