When one self-employed worker shows up at a protest about health care, do the media notice? When 1.3 million state residents enrolled in public health programs like, Family Care and or SeniorCare, are going to be affected by policy changes does anyone do anything about it?
It might be due to the fact that most Medicaid recipients are recipients by virtue of being very poor. As case in point-the media coverage over the last several months has been shallow at best for the big issue of Medicaid, programs.
No doubt you have heard the rumble about the potential effects of health care reform. At Social Service Coordinators they make sure it is their business to know what is happening to your health benefits.
It’s being said that the big reason people haven’t been talking more about Medicaid is that the bill is being moved so quickly through the Legislature that it took them some time to catch up to its implications. Does that mean we should wait until the United States Government makes up its mind if Medicaid is going to continue before using our current benefits?
The best thing to do right now is take care of your health and use the health benefits you qualify for now. Social Service Coordinators assists people who qualify to apply for “extra Help” (or Low Income Subsidy), a program run by the Social Security Administration that pays for, reduces or eliminates your Medicare Part D prescription drug premium, co-pays and deductibles.
Initially some of the more popular programs included energy, nutrition, telephone, transportation, property tax, and co payment assistance. While those and many other programs are still part of Golden Touch at SSC, there are now also over 200 different Pharmacy Assistance Programs (PAP) that help qualifying Medicare beneficiaries with discounted or free medication.
By using these programs you save money each month which not only benefits your pocketbook but can also have a positive effect on the overall health and well-being of a person.
