I have a tenant, Elizabeth in Fort Myers, who is 70 year-old and lives on $580.00 a month. She voted for Bush in 2000 because she thought he was a good Christian.
From A Buzz Flash Reader
July 22, 2003
Dear Medicaid recipient:
Florida, like most other states, has had to make difficult Medicaid decisions in order to operate within available resources and these decisions have had an impact on the adult hearing services program and the adult visual services program. As a result of budget reductions, Medicaid must eliminate the adult hearing services program and must limit visual services program effective July 1, 2003. Therefore, Medicaid cannot reimburse for hearing services and certain visual services for adults on or after July 1, 2003. Vision services are limited to medically necessary visual exams, refractions, prosthetic eyes and related services, and specialized contact lenses. Eye glasses and their repair are no longer covered. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you.
Sincerely,
Bob Sharpe Deputy Secretary for Medicaid
Elizabeth received the letter on August 27, 2003. Notice that they stopped payment for these services effective July 1, 2003, two months prior!
