So how is Trump's decimation of Medicare-Medicaid going to begin? [View all]

Will a Medicare Medicaid patient with an appointment at medical facility simply be turned away, or asked for cash up front?

Will your pharmacy suddenly deny your prescription if you cannot pay full amount? Despite the fact that many medications should not be abruptly stopped?

Example, the blood thinner Eliquis should not be abruptly stopped. The cost for a month, $400.

People need information as to what to expect.

Surgeries cancelled?

What?

Emergency needs refused? Someone with a broken limb gets refused if they can't pay?

We need more information
