Medicaid Watch
by Emmy Favilla
Congress is set to finalize plans to slash Medicaid by $8-10 billion
this month. Each state will decide how to budget the misery, but
brace for:
- Copay, deductible and premium increases
- Fewer covered AIDS drugs, such as those for neuropathy and depression
- Reduced prescription coverage for HIVers receiving other disability benefits
