STAR PLUS PROGRAM A Medicaid Managed Program, Texas Health and Human Services Limited Choices of Healthcare Providers, Beyond Rude Call Takers Austin, Texas

Every since I got on SSI here in Texas, I now find out that I have to be enrolled in Medicaid.

AND HAVE ALL MY MEDICAL RECORDS COMPILED TO SEND TO SOME DEATH PANEL/ MEDICAL REVIEW PANEL? LIKE H*LL.

I HAVE NO CHOICE.

I HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN OF TWO HMOs --WHATEVER THE H*LL THAT IS.

I DON'T CARE IF I WAS BORN IN TEXAS AND LIVED HERE MOST OF MY ADULT LIFE I DO NOT TRUST ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HEALTHCARE.

AND I THINK WHOEVER WAS HIRED TO RUN THIS PROGRAM WAS CHOSEN IN A NEPOTISM OR CRONY AGREEMENT. MAKES ME MISTRUST THEM MORE.

THE ONLY TIMES I HAVE BEEN TO A PHYSICIAN IS WHEN I HAD A CAR WRECK IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND MY LAWYER HAD THOSE BILLS PAID AND A FEW CHECK UPS IN THE MILITARY, I AM NOT MUCH FOR DOCTORS.

I AM REALLY NOT MUCH FOR COSTING THE TAXPAYERS ANY MONEY ON MY BEHALF.

THEY WILL TELL ME WHICH DOCTOR I WILL SEE.

WHAT IF I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANY.

THIS PROGRAM IS NOT AVAILABLE TEXASWIDE EITHER. JUST IN THE METRO AREAS OF TRAVIS,NUECES,HARRIS, AND BEXAR COUNTIES. I THINK DALLAS AND TARRANT COUNTIES GET IT IN 2011.

WHAT ABOUT MY RIGHT TO BE LEFT ALONE AND GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM WHEN I AN SICK. ONLY DID THAT ONCE WITH THE SWINE FLU OUTBREAK.

THE RIP OFF IS I DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE!

AND WHEN YOU CALL IN TO TRY TO GET AN EXPLANATION, I THINK YOU ARE CALLING A CALL CENTER IN TIJUANA OR JUAREZ, MEXICO. NOBODY SPEAKS ENGLISH AND ARE RUDE AS H*LL.

AT LEAST CALL TAKERS IN INDIA UNDERSTAND ENGLISH AND HAVE GREAT ACCENTS TOO.
