Medicaid recipients to rise in Illinois

Over 430,000 Illinois residents are expected to be new Illinois Medicaid enrollees by the end of the year because of #ObamaCare. With all the inefficiencies of ObamaCare and the State of Illinois health management, how many of these new enrollees will truly qualify?

Under ObamaCare Illinois will receive 100% of cost of patients, who are eligible, for the first three years and a 50-50 federal match for those eligible but have not signed up yet. The push is on to get as many as possible to sign up.

Last year, because the state failed to properly verify Medicaid eligibility, the private company, Maximus Health Services was hired to work with the Illinois State Audit office to weed out the Medicaid recipients that are proven to be ineligible; a two year contract was agreed on at the cost of $76 million so that, hopefully, more than $350 million could be saved.

Everything was going just fine; the effort was half ways through the program – nearly 3,000 deceased Illinoisans were found on the Medicaid rolls, $12 million was paid out in benefits to who? They identified 230,000 that did not meet requirements to be on Medicaid, the state canceled 115,000 cases that did not meet the requirements in one way or the other.

Then the state started to listen to the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees Council 31, who objected to the use of the private – more efficient – Maximus Health Services. Through arbitration Maximus was kick out because Unions need their dues. State employees are once again verifying eligibility. And once again there will be ineligible people signed up but what can you expect from a sanction state where illegal is not a crime.

Biggest Scam of 2013

#Obamacare or the #ACA Health Care program.

Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition of scam is “a fraudulent or deceptive act or operation.” The FBI describes mass marketing fraud to includes any plan, program, promotion, or campaign that is conducted through solicitation by telephone, mail, the Internet, or other means (e.g., mass meetings) to induce multiple persons to (1) purchase goods or services; (2) participate in a contest, sweepstakes, or lottery; (3) invest for financial profit; or (4) otherwise pay advance fees or “taxes” for services that are promised but not delivered. They warn what to look for: Being asked for personal financial Information such as bank account information or credit card numbers via the telephone or by email. Using high-pressure sales tactics so as not to give you time to think about the information you are providing.

Do the words, “ if it's too good to be true, it usually is.” The ACA, aka Obamacare, bill was almost totally written behind closed doors without any transparency, the 2000+ pages were never read before a vote was taken, it was voted in by a single party, Democrats. Deception was abound with words like, “we have to pass the bill before you'll know what's in it,” “if you like the plan you have, you can keep it,” and/or “ you will be able to keep your doctors.”

Since the bill was passed the lies and deception increased as the days, weeks and months went by to point that one has to wonder if anyone that pass the bill knows the truth themselves. There has been and still are promotions and campaigns by phone, mail, internet and mass meeting to purchase a service that required you to give full disclosure of your personal and financial information before you could view any further information. All this was done with high-pressure sales tactics with a touch of fear of penalties.

Obamacare has all the makings of a scam including the making of promises that can not be delivered.

Obamacare and the flim-flammery rhetoric

Obama and the Democrats have been pushing out their flim-flammery rhetoric before, during and after the Obamacare was passed. How many times have you heard - If its to good to be true, usually it is.

This bait and switch comprehensive health reform has done nothing but harmed citizens and put many of them in fear for their life. Over the past weeks, we have heard the Democrats, Obama administration and Obama, himself blamed the failure of Obama care on just about everyone and everything over and over again.

Democrats, Sen. Pelosi said, “ we have to sign it before you can see what is in it,” this should of been warning sign to all citizens. The bill was written to get the 30 million uninsured – insured. Now we find that 40 million have been pushed off of policies that they wanted and needed – with the number of uninsured growing day by day – the number of uninsured now stand at 70 million plus.

The only thing this comprehensive health reform will be doing is increasing the number of uninsured, increase insurance premiums to amounts that are hardly affordable, and leaves citizens open for ID theft.

Obama care was not only designed to take over your healthcare but was designed to have a say in every part of your life. Today we have over 47 million people on food stamps, over 13 million people are on the welfare rolls and growing every day, 6 million are on unemployment while 90 million are out of work and probably off of the job rolls. We hear from the news that more people are signing up for Medicaid than for Obama care. This so-called comprehensive health reform is fast becoming one more step to government taking over your life and one more step towards dictatorship.
