"For the analysis, researchers with the Oregon Health and Science University and Johns Hopkins University compared physician enrollment files to Medicaid administrative claims from 2019 to 2021.

They found that between 68% and 89% of doctors depending on specialty were enrolled in Medicaid in 2021. But nearly 28% delivered zero care to Medicaid beneficiaries that year, according to the study."

The #healthcare plan already funded by the Public has been scuttled with NO replacement. The tax credits to states - also already paid for by the Public - which fund hundreds of programs that have provided #health & #medical services to tens of thousands of people, were taken and given away by #Congress - largely by donors to the Senate Minority Leader and House Speaker, with a few vague promises to negotiate some scraps back, all now evidently broken. At the end of 2025 the so-called Private #Insurance Industry was greenlighted massive increases to premiums and the associated payments of co-insurance & deductibles. The 2026 budget will scrap virtually all of #Medicaid and most of #Medicare right after this year's midterm #elections. Particularly in rural areas, upward of 40% of hospital revenues come from Medicaid reimbursements which will abruptly cease. HUNDREDS OF HOSPITALS NATIONWIDE are likely to shut down and, in some areas, nearly all will sharply reduce critical services like primary care, emergency rooms, OB/GYN, pharmacy, dialysis, and pediatrics. Many of these particular services will be consolidated to other #hospitals far away with no transportation provided. Thousands will die, tens of thousands will be impoverished, as a direct result. A national #economic failure is more than merely likely. And without good cause; only to crush the Public and to transfer away the remains of its #wealth - our #savings, our #investments - for #redistribution to the untaxed parasites who create nothing, to further ensure that their next six generations will be exempted from the Social Compact.

TrumpRx Denounced as Corrupt Scheme to Line Pockets of Big Pharma—and Don Jr.

> "Trump has dressed up yet another corporate giveaway as a boon to #patients," said one watchdog. "Real drug price reform doesn’t look like a website."

"Health costs are a top concern for Americans. Two-thirds of the public say they are somewhat or very worried about affording health care, more than express the same worries about utilities, food, housing, or gas, according to a January poll from KFF, a health information nonprofit that includes KFF Health News....Here are five ways that the uninsured can find affordable care."

It’s 2026 and You’re Uninsured. Now What? - KFF Health News

Many Americans are expected to lose ACA or Medicaid coverage in coming months and years as a result of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and the expiration of enhanced pandemic-era subsidies that helped people afford Obamacare plans. Doctors and researchers say there are still ways to find affordable care.

"Despite a contentious back-and-forth and the longest government shutdown in history last fall, the GOP-led Congress allowed enhanced ACA subsidies, which had helped millions of Americans cover all or part of their marketplace premiums since 2021, to expire on Dec. 31. With the loss of the subsidies and health care costs already surging, more middle-income people face tough decisions about their health coverage this year."
