The primary beneficiaries of Medicaid are hospitals and healthcare providers. Medicaid writes the checks to them, not to the people on Medicaid. When you take coverage away from the poor, they just show up in the Emergency Room sicker and needing more expensive care. The resulting bills are not paid and hence the costs have to be absorbed by the hospitals and/or passed on to the rest of us.

Do âruralâ oxy addicts get a free pass?
In what possible legitimate way can it make sense to deny health care to people with drug problems?
We know this game. This is all about punishing âbadâ people. Especially nonwhite people, who from the perspective of Scott Walker and his fans are automatically bad until proven otherwise.

As I always say and expect no action. ALL government employee need a pee test. They take tax dollars and act irrationally. President "Orange barrel* " really needs to be first in line to prove there is no need for concern.
- Orange barrel - an LSD brand for those of you not familiar.
My mom went for moo-moos back in the 60s/70s.
Holy smoke! Is that still in use?
Thatâs just wrong â they shouldnât have to force you.
And, with the GOP writing it, I wouldnât be surprised if it neglected to properly handle a case where someone fails the drug test due to prescribed use of legal medication.
It probably also doesnât handle the cases where the drug test is wrongly analyzed, or where the results donât come back because the lab is overbooked. But it does exactly whatâs intended when the only drug treatment slot available is a nonresidential program at the other end of the state.
