Georgia is a forced birth state. Pro-life = Pro-suffering

why is the federal government forcing them to make sure they are qualified to receive? There is more to not caring about children than just Medicaid.

You don't think proving a person is qualified is just good government?   Do you think the government should be just open to fraud?

In Georgia, basic Medicaid coverage for poor children and some poor adults has existed for years. Last year, the state opened a new limited Medicaid expansion program known as “Pathways to Coverage.” Pathways was intended to expand Medicaid coverage to poor adults who are able to work or perform other approved activities for 80 hours per month, but enrollment has been far lower than state officials hoped for. An effort in the Legislature to approve a greater expansion of Medicaid to more residents failed in March.

Doctors say that for those who want to prove their eligibility for Medicaid, the bureaucracy overseen by the Georgia Department of Human Services and the Department of Community Health is a bog.

Scornik was not surprised to hear the numbers. Families who come to him say that after they learn they’ve been disenrolled they can’t get through to caseworkers to solve the issue.

When they do get through to someone at the state, they’re told there’s a long backlog and it will take time. His patients who know they’ve been disenrolled and are trying to get re-evaluated, can go uninsured for months, he said.

Like most republican lead state Georgia republicans don't care about poor people enough to put any money towards helping them.

Texas made it harder for kids to get/stay on the CHIPS many years ago under Rick perry.
he was able to cut 80,000 kids from the program.  Nobody cared, even though it is the
BEST program going to keep kids medically healthy.

if this is your reasoning, why are you complaining if the state can't prove them to be qualified? Are the undocumented migrants qualified?

It’s not the government’s business to “care about” people.

Again, not the business of government.  You want to help people?  Get government out of their way.  Let them help themselves.

People were HELPING THEMSELVES for THOUSANDS of years, before government came along Dan.

How far did we get?

ONLY with the advent of a Democracy have things taken off for the better.

So why do you want to destroy humanity's progress?

Exactly!  We got along just fine.  And then government started interfering and things went downhill after that.

Democracy started with the ancient Greeks.  Government interference is not democracy.

I don’t.  I want to stop the government from destroying humanity’s progress.
