Pregnant women can get free prenatal care via Medicaid. Many won't even bother to go the local Medicaid office to get a Medicaid Id. I've seen them show up for prenatal visits and be told, "All you have to do is to go over to Medicaid and get your ID card and we can take care of you until you deliver". Nope, won't do it. Every state Medicaid provides EPSDT services for well-child visits through age 18. What level of participation do you think they have? LESS THAN 25%. Your entire post agrees with what I wrote, and there you go again with the arrogant know it all BS... Al

What level of participation do you think they have? LESS THAN 25%. Schwab's will rotate my tires for free, I know I should do it, but I just never seem to get around to it either - the argument we could save money by giving free health care that then sends people to the doctor early simply ignores reality - people don't always do what's good for them. I guess the only way to manage the issue is to force them into the doctors office with threats - that's the DNC way.
