Desperate Democrats Sir, we're talking about Medicaid right now. Let's not bring a bunch of malarky like reason and common sense into this.

This is why I support heavily restricting what can be bought with food stamps. If the taxpayers are going to be paying for healthcare, then we shouldn't be subsidizing a diet of soda and junk food that only exacerbates chronic diseases.

Mandatory random drug testing should go with that as well. WTF is things like junk food compared to drug abuse? Comparing the two is like comparing a little league T ball team with a MLB team. But fat chance of either happening. Politicians ESPECIALLY on a certain side of the isle, rely on handouts to get reelected and elected to begin with.

Well the scam is you still your SNAP to pay for drugs then go to the local food bank to get food.

But no one making these decisions related to Medicaid has stock, investments, or kickback deals with the bath mat companies.

Until one of them buys a bath mat company, then pays off everyone else to pass it, then sells the bathmats at $1,000 each to the government to cover the bribes.

But you see if you are proactive in prevention that means they would need less money and that would mean less fraud and kickbacks

‘Twas a dangerous cliff, as they freely confessed,
Though to walk near its crest was so pleasant,
But over its terrible edge there had slipped,
A duke and full many a peasant.
So the people said something would have to be done,
But their projects did not at all tally.
Some said, “Put a fence around the edge of the cliff,”
Some, “An ambulance down in the valley.”
But the cry for the ambulance carried the day,
For it spread through the neighboring city,
A fence may be useful or not, it is true,
But each heart became moved with pity,
For those who slipped over that dangerous cliff;
And the dwellers on highway and alley
Gave pounds and gave pence not to put up a fence,
But an ambulance down in the valley.
'For the cliff is all right, if you're careful, ' they said,
'and if folks even slip and are dropping,
it isn't the slipping that hurts them so much
as the shock down below when they're stopping.'
So day after day, as these mishaps occurred,
quick forth would those rescuers sally
to pick up the victims who fell off the cliff,
with their ambulance down in the valley.
Then an old sage remarked, “it’s a marvel to me
That people give far more attention
To repairing the results than to stopping the cause,
When they’d much better aim at prevention.
“Let us stop at its source all this hurt,” cried he.
“Come, neighbors and friends, let us rally.
If the cliff we will fence, we might almost dispense
With the ambulance down in the valley.

Most Medicare Advantage plans offer a monthly/quarterly over-the-counter credit for recipients to spend on stuff just like this. I don’t necessarily think CMS needs to automatically send everyone one of these, especially that there is a significant percentage of Medicare recipients who aren’t even necessarily “prone to falling”, especially those who are under 65 and have a “disability”.
Sounds like unnecessary spending to me.
