In fact, being on Medicaid is actually really frustrating and difficult. Guess how I know.
Need a refill early? Want an uncovered procedure? Too bad. You can't have it--not even out of pocket.
It literally illegal.
Travelling when your scrip renews? Too bad. You can't pick it up early and you can't fill it out-of-state unless your doc sends a new scrip.
Medicaid is a necessity.
Medicaid is important.
Medicaid is not something you'd ever pick if you had other choices.
Medicaid is not a free ride.
Medicaid is not easy.
Medicaid is not for funsies.
Medicaid is life or death.
