Question

Explain why you think the government should or should not require all providers to accept Medicaid patients. I

Answer 1

The government should require all providers to accept Medicaid. Medicaid is a government program providing health coverage,and medication to children and adults under the poverty level guidelines. Providers still are paid but at a discounted rate. If providers refused Medicaid patients it would cause a backlog for providers accepting Medicaid and would increase in illnesses and mortality rates for those who could not get care.
