I received a denial of my Medicaid claim the other day. The only reason this is happening is because Medicaid didn’t send me renewal information to streamline the process. They claim they did send me the renewal info, but they didn’t and they lie all the time–the US government doesn’t really want anyone to have free/low-cost medical care. It’s all about big business, corporate Amerika, Big Pharma and the insurance industry making a killing on unwitting citizens with no money.
I got some bullshit letter that stated I did not produce the requested information and documentation–a total lie! I waited in line in on a freezing cold and windy day in Brooklyn to present my documentation to the Medicaid officer, she took less than two minutes to copy my documents and bid me adieu.
Somehow I knew I would have to continue my fight for social services. I’ve already written that I’ve applied for SSI/SSD…I have been assigned a case worker, found that out just yesterday. The letter I got int he mail said it will take anywhere from three months to a year to win (or not).
I can wait it out even longer if I need to, to win over the city, state and federal governments when I am right and they, as usual, are wrong.
