No one is being denied care as I don?t see bodies stacked up outside locked hospital doors.
No, you will not see that, because it is illegal (I believe) to deny care to Medicaid patients at the ED. But, that doesn't mean there isn't a shortage of care. If there were equal and good access to care, then a Medicaid patient could go to a competent doctor (in his or her field). But, they can't. Because the private doctors won't take them.
And, even if a Medicaid patient wants to pay cash, they can't.
