Hospitals Could Lose 70% of Net Income?!

Medicaid disenrollments from the new One Big Beautiful Bill Act could slash over 70% of an average hospital’s net income. Kodiak Solutions ran the numbers, and the worst-case scenario is wild: up to $25 billion in lost revenue nationwide in just one year. If millions lose Medicaid, hospitals will have to scramble—think cost cuts, helping patients keep coverage, and boosting preventive care. Healthcare finance folks are officially sweating! #Health #BodyHealth #Medicaid

Dr. Oz’s Hot Take on Medicaid Users

Dr. Oz is catching heat for claiming that 'able-bodied' Medicaid recipients spend over 6 hours a day just watching TV or 'doing nothing.' He says people should be out working, volunteering, or changing the world, and that the government should help them get wealthy. Critics are calling him out, pointing out most Medicaid users are already working, disabled, or caring for family. The irony? Oz made millions from people watching his TV show! #Health #BodyHealth #Medicaid

Surprising Ways Your Stuff Can Cost You Medicaid

Here’s a heads-up for anyone helping parents or thinking about their own future care: Medicaid isn’t just about low income. Even things like a second car, a vacation cabin, or old life insurance could kick you off the program. Some folks have had to sell family land or cash out savings they thought were safe. Before you stash away valuables or gift property, check your state’s rules—Medicaid can look back five years! Planning early can save you a lot of headaches (and money). #Business #MakeMoney #Medicaid

Slidell woman’s luxury life on Medicaid shocks Louisiana

A Lamborghini, luxury jewelry, and even cosmetic surgery—all while collecting Medicaid? That’s what authorities say happened in Slidell, where Candace Taylor allegedly lived large while claiming government benefits meant for low-income families. Investigators found her businesses pulled in over $9.5 million, yet she kept applying for Medicaid, even after dropping $100K on a luxury car. This case is raising big questions about how fraud slips through the cracks and what it means for people who really need help. How do you think the system should change to prevent this? #Business #Louisiana #Medicaid

Older Workers Lose Job Training Funding

Did you hear the only nationwide job training program for low-income seniors just got cut? Right as new work rules are hitting Medicaid and food assistance, too. That means thousands of older adults could lose their jobs, paychecks, and even access to food and healthcare—all at once. Lawmakers are calling it a 'double whammy' for vulnerable seniors who already have it tough. This is a huge shakeup for anyone 55+ relying on these programs! #JobCareer #SeniorSupport #Medicaid

Arizona’s Medicaid weight loss drug dilemma

In Arizona, many low-income residents can’t get life-changing weight loss drugs like Ozempic or Trulicity unless they’re already diagnosed with diabetes or another serious illness. That means people have to wait until their health gets worse before they qualify for help—despite knowing these medications could prevent bigger problems down the road. The price tag is a huge barrier: over $1,000 a month in the U.S., compared to just $59 in Germany. Should Medicaid cover these drugs for obesity before it becomes a crisis? How do we balance costs with prevention? Let’s talk about what’s fair and what really helps our community stay healthy. #Fitness #ArizonaHealth #Medicaid

Did 8M People Really Scam Medicaid?

Heard the buzz about 8 million people supposedly faking their way onto Medicaid? Turns out, that viral claim is way overblown. While the government is double-checking for accidental double sign-ups (think: people moving states, not secret masterminds), there’s no evidence of a massive scam. The real takeaway? Always keep your info updated if you move—otherwise, you might get a surprise bill or lose coverage! #Medicaid #MoneyTips #FactCheck #Business

Why Are Moms Losing Health Coverage?

I've been reading about how a lot of new moms are losing their health insurance right after giving birth. It just doesn't make sense—shouldn't moms get the care they need, especially after having a baby? It feels like something needs to change so no one falls through the cracks during such an important time. #MaternalHealth #HealthCareAccess #Medicaid #Health

Why Does Medicaid Seem Easier for Some?

I've always wondered why it feels like folks with lower incomes or who aren't working can get healthcare through Medicaid way easier than those of us in the middle. It seems like if you make just a bit too much, you miss out on help but still can't really afford good insurance. Anyone else feel like the system's kinda unfair? Would love to hear if anyone's had a similar experience or found a workaround! #HealthcareTalk #Medicaid #MiddleClassStruggles #Health #BodyHealth
