Fast 600.000 Georgier aus Medicaid entfernt seit dem letzten Mai

Atlanta – Die neuesten Daten zeigen, dass fast 600.000 Georgier seit Mai letzten Jahres von Medicaid entfernt wurden.

Laut dem Georgia Department of Community Health wurden in diesem Zeitraum insgesamt 599.790 Menschen aus dem Medicaid-Programm gestrichen.

Die Mehrheit der Menschen, die aus dem Programm gestrichen wurden, sind nach Angaben des Gesundheitsministeriums mit einem Einkommen von weniger als 50% des Bundesarmutskennzeichens verdienende Erwachsene.

Kritiker des Medicaid-Programms argumentieren, dass diese Aktionen dazu führen könnten, dass Zehntausende von Menschen in Georgia den Zugang zu Gesundheitsleistungen verlieren.

Das georgische Gesundheitsministerium hat noch nicht auf die Anfrage von Channel 2 Action News nach einer Stellungnahme geantwortet.
