Guest guest Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 I would check on this one. So far as I can determine from the Social Security site only medicaid is scheduled for reduction. I just called Social Security and they told me that no state can cut your Medicare benefits; if you are also on S.S.I. (which is not Medicare, but gives you additional Medicaid, that is being cut in Indiana. Social Security told me that this is NOT true, what you are describing . I do hope that they are correct.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Shirley I am sorry to hear this. Why is it that those of us born and raised here have to fight for everything we get and sometimes we don't get what we are supposed to. Its just not fair. You are in my prayers. Hugs nne I get a letter today telling me that the State of Indiana will no longer be paying for my Medicare part B (hospital) or D (meds) effective Dec 1, 2007 So I now have an ER bill coming to me that I thought would be covered partially. I can no longer buy my meds because of my caseworker not calling me back. (my MS med alone is $1500 so no there is no way I can pay for it or anyone else.) I will be going to the SS administration office with paperwork showing that I mailed my info to my caseworker. I'm sure I can get it reinstated. But until then I will have to deal with things going to collections, my MS symptoms coming back. I'm back to where I was last summer. Why do I try? I was treated like a welfare medicaid white trash junkie in the ER by the doctor. He wanted me out of there ASAP. That's why I left before the pain was gone. Yes, I lied to him. He thought I was there for drugs. I specifically told him NO PAIN MEDS! He ends up giving me morphine to get rid of me. No wonder I've had headaches for 3 weeks. Oh, so this means too no bariatric surgery too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Screw the system and the ones that have ruined it for me and the other honest people out there.

He thought I was there for drugs. I specifically told him NO PAIN MEDS! He ends up giving me morphine to get rid of me. No wonder I've had headaches for 3 weeks.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Ask for the supervisor and then ask for a new caseworker. If you don't get one or get a proper response from the supervisor then complain straight to your governors office. Sharon This email is a natural hand made product.
