Re: Healthcare Issues
Specific cuts to Medicade?
1. Reduction in eligibility, back to pre-ObamaCare
2 Reduction in benefits and coverage
3. Reduction in administration, making enrollment and claims more difficult and time-consuming
OK, your turn, specific examples of waste and fraud, please.

Re: Healthcare Issues
Not that it really matters, but Vrede posted the article about Medicaid cuts. For some reason he has a condition that requires he have the last post.

Re: Healthcare Issues
It's common sense, as someone in insurance should know. If an $880B hatchet is going to be taken to Medicaid, the cuts will have to include some or probably all of the 3 categories, duh.

Re: Healthcare Issues
Well, every day some source reports that in addition to demanding unsustainable cuts from the Commerce Department, that various congress critters have been waving specific axes at Medicaid and ready to introduce legislation at first chance. But also, here's a good article relating to that, without "lefty hysteria" and by people who know what they're talking about. "McDermott+ exclusively serves the health industry with one-stop consulting, policy and lobbying services supported by data analytics and reimbursement, coding, coverage and quality reporting knowledge."Supsalemgr wrote: ↑Sun Mar 09, 2025 7:56 amI agree those examples could be considered cuts.

And BTW, everybody who has been paying any attention knows that Dogie has actually accomplished nothing but stir chaos. None of their demands has actually been encompassed in legislation. Some of their doings are getting undone in court. But the fact that they along with other Republican-type critters haven't done it doesn't mean they're not trying. It's not playing "chicken-little" to look at what could reasonably occur from things they've said and tried so far.

Only time will tell how effective DOGS may be. However, it has exceeded expectations as far as exposing fraud and waste in our government.

1. Decrease supply - kick some off of Medicaid
2. Decrease quality - "Reduction in benefits and coverage"
3. Decrease efficiency of service delivery - "Reduction in administration ..."
It's a hoot that for post after post SoupySales is admitting that he is clueless as to these economic BASICS as if they need to be sourced. It's a wonder that he ever became a manager of anything in business.
Nice try with the "hypocrisy" whine, but O Really asked for "specific examples of waste and fraud", NOT just sourcing. Looks like SoupySales is afraid of getting shredded on the facts as he has so many times before. Poor thing.

SoupySales has now FAILED Econ 101, high school Logic and Elementary school English all in one exchange. Sad.

So, what "fraud and waste" has actually been exposed? All I've seen is funky math and claims on the DOUCHE dashboard exposed, as has been shown over and over on our DOUCHE thread. Oh that's right, you've cowered for days from providing examples of "fraud and waste" in the Medicaid program. It's looking like you're swallowing POTUS Musk and PINO claims without actually having any evidence. Silly boy, they LIE, they always LIE.

Re: Healthcare Issues
I've looked. Can't find one evidenced instance of fraud or waste. Some expenses have been called "waste" because Musk or somebody doesn't like the program, but even that has been muddled by ummm "inaccuracies." Real findings of fraud would mean somebody would get charged. Anybody read anything about that? Nah, I didn't think so.

Re: Healthcare Issues
"accept" WHAT??? O Really asked you for examples yesterday and all you've done is deflect and cower from providing any. Sorry, your feewings aren't evidence and both O Really and I were steeped in evidence-based professions. That's quite different from your world of sales which relies on spin and gullibility. It's true that we deny that your own gullible say-so is persuasive, but I would call it hilarious rather than "blissful".Supsalemgr wrote: ↑Sun Mar 09, 2025 2:22 pmIt doesn't have to be a criminal act for waste.

Poor baby, this is the best whiny response he can up with to needing the fundamentals of Econ explained to him - supply and demand, quality of product, efficiency of delivery. SoupySales FAILS Debate, too, and we're still waiting for those "specific examples of waste and fraud". Sad.

Re: Healthcare Issues
No, but it has to be criminal to be fraud. Anyway, let's have examples of documented waste. Not saying there isn't any, but none - none - has been documented so far. The $50mil for Gazan condoms? False. The $80 million to house immigrants in luxury hotels? False. I've made a serious effort to find actual reports of all this waste. If you have some, bring 'em on.Supsalemgr wrote: ↑Sun Mar 09, 2025 2:22 pmIt doesn't have to be a criminal act for waste.

Grow up. Still no examples? Funny that. They're just real because POTUS Musk and PINO say they're real. You swallow it whole despite having been LIED to tens of thousands of times before. Sad.
O Really tried to give you a chance to persuade us with adult conversation and data sharing, but nooo. I'm bored with toying with you. You're no different than Solar and the other nanny CPFools. Now a Foe. CowerSoupySalesCower.
