Ok, so here's the news of the day. In Washington State, Walgreens is no longer accepting any new Medicaid customers because like most states, Medicaid does not reimburse them completely for the drugs they sell to people on Medicaid. It's expected that other states will follow suit and that other chain outlets like Target, CVS and Walmarts may likewise do the same meaning that in many communities Medicaid patients may not have any local place to fill their prescriptions as a lot of small pharmacies have gone out of business. http://www.sodahead.com/united-states/walgreens-no-new-medica...

So what happens if Walgreens and other big retailers do this in other states?

Then there are the hospitals and doctors refusing Medicare patients or losing so much money on them they're having to raise costs. With all the focus on private insurance companies and people who don't pay their hospital bills, most haven't been factoring in that Medicare and Medicaid do not fully reimburse hospitals and caregivers http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703436504574640...

So what happens when Obama slashing hundreds of billions out of Medicare and Medicaids budget? You got it... even more people will be refused and more retailers will stop filling prescriptions for them.

Obama said his plan would be voluntary and then it basically shifted directions where it now seems mandatory. We were told it would not replace Medicare and Medicaid... so, how is the difference going to be made up for those receiving Medicare and Medicaid as someone's gotta pay for the bills and if you slash the budget for these programs by hundreds of billions of dollars... most caregivers and pharmacies will have no choice but to drop Medicare and Medicaid or force patients to pay the difference.

Just another lie by Obama isn't it because slashing Medicare and Medicaid will leave the people using these programs to have no choice but go on Obamacare but guess what... it may not cover all the charges either so if retailers drop Medicare and medicaid they probably won't accept Obamacare either lol.

Lie after lie after lie by President Obama

I get my prescriptions filled at Walmart buying generic which costs me $12.00 for what if I bought the name brands would cost me $389.00... and I'm lucky as some fighting cancer and with other ailments can't get generics at all. I save $377.00 a month and why Obama reneged on his promise to focus on generic equivalents is mindboggling unless he were bought off by the pharms... then again, there was that secret deal he made with Big Pharma and that's when he stopped talking about generics.

So guess what, looks like what we were told would begin happening is happening as Medicaid recipients are being turned away by Walgreens in Washington State because they're losing money... so are all the pharmacies in Washington State and most states across the country. Obamacare needs to die and we need to focus on fixing what we have instead of always creating something new. Prescription Plan D became a nightmare that no one likes and the people behind it are behind Obamacare too.
