I was on Medicaid for three or four years and had much better healthcare than when I was on an employer plan. Employer Plan w/ a shoulder injury: no MRI until three months of PT (physical therapy without knowing what the issue is????). Medicaid w/ a foot injury: MRI, physical therapy, option for surgery.

I see a couple of specialist that explicitly state they aren’t taking any more Medicaid patients. I’m not on Medicaid. But I assume if you have any type of need for more than just a GP, you’re going to find your choices more limited.

Oh definitely there are fewer provider options with Medicaid and Medicare, again, in my experience, I received better healthcare than I did with an employer insurance plan.
