"I don't want to take my daughter home today, keep her for another night. Medi-cal is paying anyway, they will pay for the extra night" NO

Just because you aren't paying a dime for her care doesn't mean it is okay for Medi-cal to pay extra.

(Patient has been cleared by everyone to go home).

We were already going to provide a van to drive them because the bus wouldn't have been good.

- because a patient that no longer needs care should keep the bedx from a stupid selfish sick person. -- nm - bacon via droid Jan 28, 23:18

        people who already have insurance bitching about it are like married straights who think gay marriage threatens their vows - encyclopedia pixie Jan 28, 23:33 29
        
        Ask most STers here how much their insurance has gone up since the bill passed - bacon via droid Jan 28, 23:36 28
        
        That wasn't true for us - last year was the first in 4 years when our BC/BS plan did NOT go up 30% -- nm - JenBro Jan 29, 03:57 2
        
        Mine went up less than 8%. Possibly the smallest increase I've ever seen. And no co-pay increases. -- nm - CovingtonCat Jan 29, 04:47
        
        mine went down this year. -- nm - amanda jones Jan 29, 04:41
        
        Insurance premiums started going up rapidly in 2001. Right now, the companies are shitting their pants over the 80-20 rule. That is, they have to pay - Trish Jan 29, 00:07 5 2
        
        damn, why thehell are you not on CNN or Bill Maher? -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 29, 00:29 1

        I was simply giving pixie a retort on how this bill didn't affect people with health insurance - bacon via droid Jan 29, 00:13
        
        I'm bookmarking the shit out of this post. - Epiphany Jan 29, 00:12 1
        
        Me either - why isn't someone making this front page. Ews? -- nm - JenBro Jan 29, 03:59
        
        Which has nothing to do with it. How much had it gone up prior, or is that obama's fault too? -- nm - tRu Pad Jan 28, 23:41 15
        
        The mandates are raising prices. -- nm - bacon via droid Jan 28, 23:46 14
        
        wrong -- nm - Trish Jan 29, 00:08
        
        There are no mandates yet. None. -- nm - tRu Pad Jan 28, 23:50 7
        
        Wrong!!! Kids can now stay on parents till 26 mandate. Kids can no longer be denied insurance even with previous condition mandate. - bacon via droid Jan 28, 23:54 6
        
        wrong -- nm - Trish Jan 29, 00:09
        
        no, that's not a mandate. the parent is not forced to cover their 26 year old. they can choose to or not to if they want - encyclopedia pixie Jan 28, 23:56 4
        
        It's a mandate for the insurance company. They CAN'T not insure them. -- nm - bacon via droid Jan 29, 00:00 3
        
        wrong -- nm - Trish Jan 29, 00:10 1
        
        Oh then insurance companies can drop kids and not offer policies? Wow, Obama is telling people tghat's one of his big achievments. must be lying -- nm - bacon via droid Jan 29, 00:16
        
        you should stick to football arguments -- nm - encyclopedia pixie Jan 29, 00:02
        
        the mandate doesn't even start until 2014 - encyclopedia pixie Jan 28, 23:49 4
        
        And there it is. That grace period the government always gives so companies have time to jack up rates. - bacon via droid Jan 28, 23:52 3
        
        And wrong again. You are mistaking greed on the part of the company for government re-regulation. -- nm - Trish Jan 29, 00:13 1
        
        I am saying greed is what they are doing while they still can do it -- nm - bacon via droid Jan 29, 00:31
        
        yeah, mean old government forcing those insurance companies to raise their rates - encyclopedia pixie Jan 28, 23:55
        
        correlation does not = causation. how has the ACA caused premiums to rise? - encyclopedia pixie Jan 28, 23:40
        
        Studies show it's doubled since 2004 -- nm - Epiphany Jan 28, 23:37 1
        
        health insurance has always gone up at rates much faster than inflation and would have whether obama care or not -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 29, 00:04
