Alan, Just a comment on Medicaid. Those who are enrolled consider it as "insurance." And when the administration brags on the ACA for reducing the numbers of uninsured, I believe they are counting Medicaid beneficiaries among the insured. Medicaid is due to face cutbacks when the feds cease sending pandemic money to the states. Although Kentucky is an "expansion" state, the majority in our current state legislature plan to tighten Medicaid eligibility criteria. More low-income patients will be left out in the cold.
Thanks Harriette, I believe you are correct. Medicaid enrollees have insurance. I was aware of the reenrollnent problem but not the rollback of federal funds. I will look into this. Have a good weekend and thank you.

The only program that will work is universal health care . Now our heathcare is so fragmented that we passed around like butter. We must do better
Thanks Diane. You are so right!!!!
