Retrieved from https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/cost-sharing/index.htmlThis was the other teams opening statement- Copay for Medicaid would help insure that the right people are getting it for the right reasons. According to Kevin Litten, NOLA.com | The Times
the Republicans are asking for a $8 copay. What is $8 when the average
copay is $24. This is not too much to ask when they don’t pay a
premium at all for coverage, not to mention that most of there
prescriptions are free too. The website eHealthInsurance.com estimated
that premiums for subsidized Obamacare policies averaged $393 a month in
2017 for individuals, a 99% increase since 2013. They came with an
average annual deductible of $4,328. Costs for family policies
skyrocketed 140% during the same period, with premiums hitting $1,021 a
month in 2018 with an annual deductible topping $8,350. With this
increase more and more are abusing the system to get Medicaid for their
children. Enrollment increased by 15.6 million among the 49 states
reporting both baseline (July-September 2013) and July 2018 data. This
is the highest numbers Medicaid has ever had. An take in the fact that
non of these have been charged any money for medical, dental or vision
services, along with prescriptions. Copay for Medicaid or cost sharing depends on state, for people that
are can exceed 150% of the federal poverty level. With cost sharing it
can help promote more cost-effective use of prescription drugs, it help
encourage lower cost drugs which means copays will stay relatively
cheaper so Medicaid users can afford them. Patients that income comes
over 150% FPL their co payments can be as high as 20% and the patients
that are at or below 150% FPL will pay limited to even nominal amounts
for their co-payment. Nominal out of pocket cost can be as low as four
dollars. With having people help with co payments when it comes to the
Medicaid program can help with getting more people enrolled so they can
also be able to have health care. Paying co payments help with Medicaid
not having to cover as much just with having patients pay four to eight
dollars. Reference: Medicaid.gov Cost Sharing Out of Pocket Cost Retrieved from https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/cost-sharing/out-of-pocket-costs/index.html Cost sharing Retrieved from https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/cost-sharing/index.html
