46. Minnesota has a program for low income seniors called MSHO

Sun Feb 21, 2021, 05:29 PM

Feb 2021

(Minnesota Senior Health Options). It's Medicare and Medicaid combined. My mom was on it and it was incredible coverage, even covered hearing aids. No premium or deductible, just some small copays on prescriptions (like $2 when Mom was on it). The problem with it was/is your income has to be so low to qualify.

Bur, whenever I hear "Medicare for all" I think MSHO for all is what we really need.
