12. This is absolutely horrible! The medically needy program is like...

...free catastrophic health care. In short, you don't have it util you use it...and there is a "share of cost" factor determined by income. Each month you must hit the magic number in medical bills, and everything else is then covered. For people on Social Security (not SSI) this will be devestating...they will be unable to meet the cost of perscriptions. I am surprised the hospitals aren't fighting this, as they would lose millions.
