Thinking Medicaid/Medi-Cal will be Your Health Insurance Choice in ER?

[Another Reader]

You might want to re-think this.  Take a look at what's happening in California and ask yourself if it will work for you.

I'm sure it matters where you live. I know three kids that are on Medicaid. One of them has adhd and one has had issues with dry skin and allergies I know. They have both had positive experiences.

If my wife quit working we would qualify for CHP+ Part of me wants her to quit working. We can get better insurance for $105 a year instead of the 4476 we are currently paying. Because its an HMO I am sure that we could see the exact same doctors we see know with less of a copay.  I would gladly pay that 4476 for the CHP+ the copay's are ridiculously low compared to what we pay now.
