My wife and I recently lost our jobs during the pandemic and we were forced to get medicaid. I found this place that accepts medicaid so I gave them a call. When I was asked what type of insurance I had I let them know it was medicaid. The woman told me that any medicaid patients would have to wait months longer than other insurance types. I asked why that was. The woman told me that they were getting too many medicaid patients. The worker was speechless when I spelled out how their employer was actually discriminating. She apologized and stated that she still would not be able to get me in sooner. business accepts medicaid to cushion their pockets. Just not too many medicaid patients... that would hurt their image. I ended the call with a heavier heart in a difficult time.
