Episode 2122 notes Free referral services in the industry really aren’t free. My guest Steve Kuker is a veteran placement expert who exposes exactly how they work. These are at best a conflict of interest and Steve is pushing for our federal regulators to act because, as an example, in real estate you must disclose how much commission the realtor makes on the transaction… why isn’t there the same requirement for the free referral services for your aging parent or family member? Steve's company, Senior Care Consulting calls itself “A Placement Service With Integrity" and does not accept referral kickbacks. But he explains all the FREE services do. "I was recently mistakenly offered $6,750 as a kickback from an assisted living community … tangible proof of how much these “free” referral services are making in kickbacks! So you really aren’t getting a non-biased referral and you won’t be told of complaints and even sanctions against the facilities.

Episode 2119 notes It's a very interesting Multi-Topic show : Today we Separate Fact from Fiction and dive into the claim that 7.8 Million will Lose Medicaid and what will really happen . We also d iscuss how ACA/Obamacare recipients who pay less due to a subsity based on low income will be required to provide a tax return to prove income. Then we hear from a listener from the west cost explain why s he happily paid pays $5000 per month in cash to her illegal alien Nanny, who also is getting free health care from Medicaid. and why everybody does it necause it costs less. My guest on these stories is John Stockton : Excepts: Cary Hall: "You know, America's Healthcare Advocate is the show where we like to say we separate fact from fiction. Well, we're going to do just that today. We're going to talk about this whole issue. The first part of the show on Medicaid, this supposed fact that 7.8 million people are going to lose their Medicaid health insurance. Yes, 7.8 million people are going to lose their coverage by 2034. That's what they're saying. This is a scare tactic, so then let's talk about who is really going to lose it and how does this break down. So out of that 7.8 million, 4.8 million are uninsured because they don't comply with the bills part time work requirement." In Segment 2, we learn how Medicaid interacts with hospitals and John Stockton, with 25 years with Aetna in the large group field and he really understands this piece: "We’re spinding 5 trillion on healthcare and 25% of that is waste. If we took care of our waste we could pay off the interest on our national debt." Segment 3 is all about new ACA/Obamacare changes and how we got there. Cary Hall: "ACA: here's the first big change: Aetna's gone. 1 million people are without ACA as of January 1st from Aetna. Subsities going to people in the 150 – 200% not 400% of poverty level, the cost of what people are paying for ACA plans going up 20-30% a month maybe 75% " And in our final segment. Cary Hall: "This young lady, who is an avid listener of this broadcast, was in a casual conversation with me about the show the other day, and I talked about this topic of Medicaid and illegal aliens, and she launched into a whole tirade, basically, of her experience living in Los Angeles, dealing with this issue. Her story shows you can pay $5000 a month in cash for daycare, and it’s going up with each child and an illegal alien is making that, plus getting Medicaid and more from the government."
