2. Death Panels for Medicaid

FL Gov Rick Scott is purging 3000 100% disabled adults under 65 from Medicaid each month just to interrupt the expenses of these adults. Each purged adult has to reapply which can take 2-3-6 months. Imagine recovering from openheart surgery, having degenerative spinal disease, diabetic with kidney problems, and automatically losing your medicines, doctors, and other necessary services. Just for filing a form late, or, not completing the form, or, some trumped up reason just to get you off the rolls. To Save $.

do the math, each 100% disabled adult's monthly medical expenses are approx. $5000

1000 purged x $5000 = a saving $500,000,000 a year so that the Gov can find other ways to provide services.

what happens when you dont have your medicines....you slowly start to die..now these poor people dont have the money to buy their medicine...when they get sick enough they go to the hospitals,,,but it is usually too late...you die.
FL already has 13 wrongful death suits pending from families of medicaid victims.
