Washington – West Virginia’s Medicaid families face a reduction in the health plan benefits if they reduce to sign up the contracts promising to show the doctors appointments and the emergency rooms for emergency cases. Meanwhile Kentucky is putting new limits on the prescriptions and visits to the therapists. It has been studied that they are the first two states to take the advantages of the new law which is easier to mix and match with the residents to prevail the benefits of the Medicaid, the state-federal program that issues the health insurance coverage to about 55 million low-income people. In the last year, when the state provided the health care benefit to their Medicaid beneficiaries they had to do so for all the participants in the state. This comparability statement guaranteed comprehensive health care coverage for the poorest for the poor. But the governor saw the comparability requirements as a straitjacket forcing them to drop people off their Medicaid rolls completely when trying to show the cost rte of this program.
