Story

Please tell us how you, your family or your community has benefited from Medicaid coverage for dental care, vision care, and transportation assistance: My mother is 91 n in a rehab/rest home right now recovering from a fall with 2 broke arms. Transportation assistance is a must in a wheelchair ! Becuase the rest home n system took all her money before medicad would help pay for her stay she has no money for dental or vision care !

Please tell us how eliminating these benefits would affect you, your family, or your community: People going into a rest home lose all money before Medicaid will help them. After that you have no means to pay for anything ! The income you do have all goes to the rest home except for $40 dollars a month to by personal items.
