A classmate recently posted about the expiration of the Medicaid Waiver 1115. Located here on Tuesday, August 11, 2015. Although valid points have been emphasized about the consequences of denial of funding. I believe we cannot rely on the government for funding and the state needs to find alternative measures to help its citizens. Tzorin made a very good point about these programs are setup to help patients and families to cope with traumatic event and surgeries. Denying medical assistance for anyone should never happen, but in the real world it happens. Situations like those require a plan which is why I support Tzorin's statement. The state of Texas needs to have available options or course of actions if the federal medicaid funding is not approved.
