Cuts Leave Patients With Medicaid Cards, but No Specialist to See

Imagine that, those nasty unintended consequences. Of course, it’s nothing that can’t be fixed with another rule and regulation isn’t it Progressives?

LAFAYETTE, La. — Eight-year-old Draven Smith was expelled from school last year for disruptive behavior, and he is being expelled again this year. But his mother and his pediatrician cannot find a mental health specialist to treat him because he is on Medicaid, and the program, which provides health coverage for the poor, pays doctors so little that many refuse to take its patients.
The problem is common here and across the country, especially as states, scrambling to balance their budgets, look for cuts in Medicaid, which is one of their biggest expenditures.
