I hope most, if not all, states follow suit. Everyone should have basic healthcare.

Don't be so quick. They downgraded everyone too. No one on state aid has a real doctor any more. Everyone only has a walk in clinic as a PCP. A disabled person like myself has no one to manage my health now.
I tried to find more info and does seem convoluted. Are you being kicked off from the pandemic coverage?

No it was hidden in the change from Monarch to Optum. Everyone got letters in mid November that said their PCP had changed November 1st. It ISA total mess. No one knows what is going on really, but everyone with 100% state care has been reassigned to clinics as their PCP.
So you get a new doctor every time? Damn, that's fucked up.
Yeah. I was at the doctor a week and a half ago and lucky enough to have my family foot the bill. An old man on oxygen was there the whole time I was arguing with the receptionist/nurse that the insurance company was trying to kill him. By the time he left he was talking seriously suicidal.
Like my PCP is listed as a weird code now, and no one knows what it means. I've gotten two letters with two different places listed as my PCP. Technically, I am being actively treated and should have been exempt from the changes, but no one can tell me anything. I don't need to see a PCP for a couple of months so I figure I'll give it time to sort itself out. They weren't supposed to change anything until January 1st, but like if I was in a more critical state of health than chronic back problems, they are incompetent beyond belief right now.
I hope it's just the transitioning process that's messed up and not a permanent one.
