Illinois medicaid being phased out

[rocket2]

Just renewed my medicaid everything looks good said case worker, should be getting my new card in the mail.
Well I didn't get a new medicaid card.
I got some bs insurance thing called illinois health choice
And must pick an insurance provider by August 3rd and a pcp.
Fail to do so they will automatically choose one for me.
I don't want this.
All I want is my medicaid card.
I already have wellcare medicare parts ab&c.
Medicaid only pays what's left of the bill after wellcare pays there portion.
All I see is more money I don't have coming out of my pocket paying the premiums and co pays.
What I currently had,I didn't have to pay for anything.

So maybe instead of me running for medical attention,just give up and let myself die from my medical problems.
Politicians in illinois don't care about disabled people on fixed incomes.
I'm tired of suffering in misery.
And this makes it worse what they're doing now with medicaid.
All this is ,is a duplicate
And the services I need aren't covered under this insurance plan they are wanting to put me on.
Just money I don't have to pay for this insurance that doesn't suit my needs.

Google Illinois Health Choice. It's statewide Medicaid managed care. Read about it before you shoot your mouth off.

Rocket most states let companies like wellcare manage their medicaid plans. If the company they pick saves the state money it gets returned to the taxpayers if they go over the budget the company has go eat the extra costs. For around here especially with osf running everything go with atena better health. Plus being on Medicare gets you an otc benefit of 180 every 3 months.
