>> You seem pretty dogmatic about a case that you know nothing about. There was an incremental increase. They went from zero to about $150, not $300. I'm not dogmatic. But I'm knowledgeable of the subject matter having dealt with both Texas and Arkansas state Medicaids extensively -- from both the perspective of a provider and that of a professional representing beneficiaries. Going from zero to $150 in a month would, under NO circumstances, cause someone to be dropped by Medicaid. There would have to be something else. Medicaid in no state requires income to be under $1,800/year to qualify for benefits. As I said, there is more to this story -- likely, just some point you didn't understand. It simply doesn't happen the way you stated it. If a person was denied benefits on this basis they would need to appeal the decision because there is definitely something wrong with this picture. Again, not calling you a liar (at least on this issue); I'm saying you misunderstood something. >> I grant you, you seem to have a talent for arguing with reality, but I don't have much taste for it. I have no interest in arguing it, but the suggestion is that Medicaid only covers people making under $300/month, which obviously is not correct in any state.
