I am paying for at least 73 I'm pretty sure.

[QUOTE=goldenrod;429150]I have a medical supply co and 65% of our patients are on medicaid. They do get all of there things for free, but the amount of care that they recieve compared to private insurance is low. We have several pediatric children on trachs that have medicaid, and only 1 on private insurance. The babys on medicaid only recieve half of the supplies that the other recieves, because medicaid will not pay for them.[/QUOTE]
And, in most cases, I bet their parents don't pay for it either. In their mind, they shouldn't have to. However, I do feel bad for those who TRULY can't afford it and, they are out there. Unfortunately, those who really can't afford it, due to loss, bad health, etc, are being robbed by those who could if they'd just get off their butts!

Again, I'll keep my high premiums and deductibles so that I can keep my kids in better care.;)
