now there's a gotcha on medicaid in the side this I dot was fascinated the
gotcha on medicaid
is the what's called a state recovery that medicaid is basically alone
and such
after you die they can come after whatever you leave behind
the steak n turns out this is something that
aLEC has been promoting they didn't I mean this was established in 65
and it was quote enhanced in 1993
when Congress required states to institute deprivation for people who
died were over 55 a taking medicaid
so if you're over fifty five and you get medicaid you have to pay it back
in 2013
the American letters Legislative Exchange Council encourage states quote
to conduct a study to examine the state recovery program and determine
options the state has to improve recovery under an increase the
efficiency the program
in September 2004 Alec broader poor college days to enhance the enforcement
of state recovery poor programs is a
the way medicaid works is if you're over fifty five anyone Medicaid so if you're
well if you're poor if you make it less than 15 about 1300 and you're in 10
states it has expanded Medicaid
or you know you you are poor enough like you make less than four thousand dollars
in louisiana
that you qualify for medicaid if you are over 55
it's no longer we're just paying your bills it's now it's alone
and when you die we get to go after whatever you leave behind or if you have
anything you have to get really poor fast
this
was Darby this was the at a a republican idea
and Alec has been promoting it and and try to strengthen and it turns out it
varies from state to state
how they you know what they recover how they recover it
how they do it does Alec gets involved with like model legislation or model
promotions
I in a press release in September 2004 Alex suggested
quote a strong state recovery program to generate alternative non-tax revenue and
make medicaid a loan not a grant for the middle class as intended by federal law
end quote this is something we need to fix
and in fact
the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services their spokesperson
Aaron albright told The Washington Post recently we recognize the importance of
the city
issue and will provide states with additional guidance in this area soon
this is something that's worthy love talking to your
member allows representatives you two senators and your
state representative and your state senator or assembly person or whatever
may be called where you live
is why is it that if I'm over 55
and I go on medicaid its alone not a grant
I realize the American Legislative Exchange Council
Alec this group you know funded by the billionaires
promoted by you know the Koch brothers always other billionaires
are tuber helped out whenever co founded by Paul where Eq
back in the day you know the guy who said I don't want everybody to vote
and dad alec is promoted those laws the the voter
voter suppression laws Alexa's is a you know promoted
on behalf of the National Rifle Association another one other members
and enlarge contributors
promoted the stand at this stage around shoot first laws that may lead to the
Trayvon Martin the *** in florida and
the the george Zimmerman who now says he will box
anybody in a been a you know feature for you know
he's gonna you pay to get beat up or something I don't
he skis but anyway that's that's all outcry
Alec brought us the stuff and the continuing to do this kinda stuff only
getting more and more sneaky about it
more and more you know ok really you you year the press you're not allowed here
yes I'm security are you really security for the hotel
no no actually I'm security for Alan only
I mean it like it's getting bizarre
