WHAT?! She was FORCED to enroll in KenyaCare before being seen at an ER?Isn't that the way it was supposed to be? Don't pay diddley (or pay the fine) until you get sick and then enroll with preexisting?
Problem is you don't get care until you cough up the money. Gonna be a buncha PO-ed people when they get the flu this winter.

In the middle of a divorce and they haven’t had their mediation yet to settle all that stuff.

Yep. She was told her Medicaid had been cut off. Now whether it was due to the shutdown or what she wasn’t told. I guess if she’d been dying they might not have made her but since it was an ear infection they did.
They called the ER because urgent care said the same thing & I know illegals get treated at ERs without insurance so I told my friend to take her to an ER. Evidently since illegals are allowed to sign up for Zerocare, they’ll get the same answer in the future, who knows?

I’d be pretty pi$$ed if I was poor and saw all these resources and effort being wasted in closing the ocean.

Haven’t the democraps won the war on poverty YET?
They’ve been waging this “War On Poverty” for 30 years!!!—The truth IS, the dems NEED the poor to STAY poor to USE as political pawns.
Too bad the poor don’t realize this.

If they did “realize” it, most wouldn’t care, I’m afraid. They just want to sit back, chillax and get stuff for free. One once told me “work is for mules and fools.”

Agreed! I carried our insurance and about a year before I was laid off I got worried because my company was laying off fairly regularly, maybe 3 people from our department every 4 - 6 months, but we had a small department of about 50.
So I made my husband get insurance from his job too and I’m glad I did because I was laid off almost a year to the day he picked up insurance. Too frightening being without.

I told my friend to send her to an ER because they have to treat everyone regardless of if they can pay. I believe that WAS true - under the old evil medical care system where anyone could be treated free at an emergency room. I don't believe it's true anymore.

You’re right. That’s exactly what she found out.

Poor Families Taking a Hit From Government Shutdown...all the more reason for Reid and Obama to stop the stonewalling and pass the CR resolutions already sent over from the House - along with the provisions they include which would provide individual citizens with the same privileges under Obamacare enjoyed by big business 'rat cronies and congress, the president, and their staff - a move which Obama today called "partisanship".....
To: 2ndDivisionVet
People should never allow themselves to become dependent on the taxpayers and the government for their survival. It’s a stupid move.

Move over poor people. Another week of this Obama shutdown and we’ll be poor too.
Can I have some of your cheese? How about your EBT card? Your Obamaphone? Your free tuition. Free gas. Not having to pay taxes.
Oh, I wanna be poor and Obama is going “to make it happen”, just as he promised.
Brother can you spare a dime?

Another “nonprofit” scam.

Think of the young mother with a sick child who doesn’t have someone who can bail her out by buying ObamaCare... We’re going to have deaths in the country because of ObamaCare - but the suck up press won’t cover it - - doesn’t help their team.

You’re so right. Thank goodness my friend could help her daughter and that it was an ear infection and not a hot appendix or something.
