My feelings toward the present state of heath care is a priviledge. I work in Medicare and Medicaid field, so I hear happy and angry members that call. I think that some members don't realize that having some kind of insurance is a priviledge. Members call because they are searching to get information of what programs, medical equipment, transportation, or programs that what will benefit them form going into a living facility. Educating our members and leading them towards their necessity is our main priority . Members don't realize that is mandated by the state to have Medicare and Medicaid and they are limited to certain health care that will be paid by the State or SSI. Many programs are out their that provide funding based on what level they have. My concern is that I hope we still have some of the programs out there for us when we become elderly.
