My husbands' grandparents receive Medicaid. The other day, they got a letter in the mail. Guess what? They now have to PROVE they're American citizens if they want to continue to receive it. How stupid is that? They've gotten it for awhile now, and now they have to send in IDs, birth certificates,SS cards, passports and other things. Shouldn't the people who are non-citizens have to deal with the extra paperwork? How about the government sends them some letters telling them to a) apply for citizenship or b) not try to obtain benefits illegally?
It just bugs me to see these people who have worked hard all of their lives having to prove something in order to get the help they need to be able to go to the doctor and get medicines. Sorry for the rant, but does anyone else see how wrong this is?
