1. La Conexión Legal entre ACIP, CDC y la Cobertura de Medicaid.
La cobertura de vacunas por parte de Medicaid, Medicare y aseguradoras privadas está legalmente ligada a las recomendaciones emitidas por el Comité Asesor sobre Prácticas de Inmunización (ACIP) y el CDC. Si una vacuna deja de ser "recomendada", la obligación de pago desaparece, creando una gran incertidumbre para millones de beneficiarios.
- If a vaccine is not on the cdc schedule as determined by acip, then medicare, medicaid, and private insurers dont have to cover it.
- Federal insurance programs like medicaid and medicare are tied to these votes, so they would not be permitted to cover vaccines that are not endorsed by acip votes.
- My understanding is that insurance companies, medicaid, and medicare are likely to not be required to pay for a vaccine that is not recommended as preventative care.
- If a vaccine is not recommended, medicaremedicaid and private insurance can refuse to cover it.
2. Casos de Denegación de Cobertura y Barreras de Acceso.
Numerosos testimonios indican que los pacientes de Medicaid ya están experimentando denegaciones de cobertura para vacunas específicas, como la de COVID-19, especialmente en estados como Texas. Esto obliga a las familias a pagar costos elevados de su bolsillo o a buscar vías alternativas (como recetas médicas) que a menudo fallan.
- Medicaid in texas just denied my sons covid vaccination because of the change in recommendations from the cdc.
- I was denied a covid vax because i have medicaid, but i could buy one for 225.
- My 43 year old son who is on medicaid was able to get his flu shot paid for the other day. But not his covid vaccine here in texas.
- Medicaid wont cover a covid booster.or i can pay 225 out of pocket.
- My son is on medicaid his isnt covered. Here in texas im really confused.
3. Preocupaciones sobre Eugenics y Recortes de Costos.
Los comentaristas expresan la preocupación de que la eliminación de las recomendaciones de vacunas, junto con los recortes a Medicaid, es una forma de "eugenesia suave" o una estrategia para ahorrar dinero a expensas de la salud de los niños y los pobres, ya que solo los ricos podrán pagar las vacunas de su bolsillo.
- This is straight up eugenics. Eliminating this requirement allows medicaid and other insurers to skip out on coverage for childhood vaccines wealthy educated people will still get their kids vaccinated.
- Denying vaccines to the poor by removing cdc recommendations and with them, insurance and medicaid coverage is not policy. Its eugenics, plain and simple.
- Another way of saving money on the lives of our children.
- If medicare and medicaid stop covering vaccinations, then only the wealthy will get them. More eugenics, perhaps.
- Aside from playing to his anti-vax base, i honestly believe his primary motivation is to keep medicare and medicaid from having to pay for the shots.
