I just wanted some thoughts on this. When I had my son I couldnt afford the doctor bills and I found out I qualified for Medicaid. Throughout my whole pregnancy it always seemed like I wasnt treated as throughly and as fairly as everyone else. I found out after I requested my medical records that I almost had gestational diabetes during my pregnancy and was not told anything. My mom, who has worked for several doctors, told me that usually Medicaid patients are either ignored, told that are no appointments avaliable, put on a waiting list, or hurried in and out of the office during their visit. Im about to start trying for my second child with my husband, and we qualify for Medcaid, but I want to get great medical attention and be told if I might have things like diabetes. So, what do yall think?
