When I applied for medicaid I was told by them that our gov has put a freeze on medicaid for the 50 and older group.there can be some rare exceptions though. I guess I was one of them.
thank you for your comment.

Dear Disabled. I certainly agree that something needs to be done for people who contributed to the economy for years. And, who because of failing health need assistance. The only insurance co. in the industry who are mandated to insure seriously ill folk with "pre-existing conditions" is Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. In order to have hospital and testing fees covered; and if your Cobra has expired, you pay $600.00 per month. This only pays half of doctor visits, no RX, no dental and no optical. They are asking the legislature to allow them to increase rates 20%. If you have a chronic illness that requires maintenance you have no choices. HAP will insure you if you go 6 months without treatment of the pre-existing condition. Please. If you were that well you would not be disabled! This is a crime. Medicaid and Social Security Disability are one horrible nightmare. God help us. People are dying because they can't afford health insurance.

Jax your wrong Medicaid is federal. Governor Garnholm has no control over it.

If you have a Medicare card, BC and BS have a program that covers most everything for 229 a month. It's called Medicare plus Blue.

Tallmanok2 that is true if you have Medicaire. If you are fighting for SS Disability you aren't entitled to Medicaire. If you are approved, I'm told there is a 2 year wait for medicare. Unless of course you are a senior.

Tall,Medicare is federal. Medicaid is completely state run and two entirely different entities. I know because I have both. Matter of fact, Medicare considers me lower income because I have to draw SSD and a I have a small pension therefore I get a few emenities like no donut hole on scripts in the Medicare part D, but because of my pension the state's Medicaid program said because of my pension I am upper income and was put on a $1500/ month spendown which means I need to cover $1500 of my medical bills monthly. That is an impossible amount unless I give up eating and live under a bridge.

this is really sad that the people that really need help can't get it or very little.oakwood hospital is suppose to come out with something in september for low income and for out patient only and i guess you have to be on medicaid. I didn't quite understand the program she was talking about , i was dealing with other things pertaining to oakwood. if you want call 734-362-6713 and ask for sue for her to explain better.

It would not be leagle on line

OUR GOVERMENT is to worried about other countries while we suffer.I think that is why people run for a government positions because they know everything they can get away with along with all the perks that go with it.
