It has always been my understanding that people on Medicaid is generally allowed to have a house, car and $2000 dollars…
Has anyone heard of people on Medicaid that have been “begging for money” from others… using www.gofundme.com and www.venmo.com
I guess you could call this “virtual panhandling” ?
The rules appear to vary from state to state on/if money raised via these web sites could be – or should be – reported as taxable income
President Biden says that everyone should – PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF TAXES !!
I have a pharmacist friend that we exchange emails almost daily and he is head of a state Medicaid dept and he shared with me the following:
he also told me that anyone can contact the Attorney General Fraud Unit. Fraud units who love to go after some of these cases….
But if you know someone, when they are sent to prison, providing for their chronic health care needs are mandated by the 8th Amendment – which prevents cruel and unusual punishment to prisoners.

Pretty fishy, …completely fishy. What you have here is a GREED MONSTER.
Wow I am aware of a fraudster and king of gfm and anything for attention in the CPC who happens to be a felon (so fraud wouldn’t be out of the question) who happens to live in CO. Hmmm. Thanks for the info. The best stunt was to announce a suicide plan if he didn’t receive opioids. His felony was drug related. And he is very much alive. Not many plan their suicide by starvation. Can you say attention where? Abd so many fell for that. I AM starving to death (well until I started TPM) I will stop so that the gullible in the community who would drink the Kool aid do not send me hate mail. Oops don’t care if they do.
Disappointing that you assume fraud….. If the money is spent on medical needs there should be no problem. It’s only if it accumulates and becomes an *asset* that it could become a problem. Most fundraiser’s that I’ve seen actually raise very little money. Being forced into *retirement* after a major accident or injury shouldn’t force someone into a lifetime of poverty and begging for scraps.
It is not as simple as one go fundme, but the totality of the conduct of these. …Looks like, walks like, quacks like, …etc.
Really? Who didn’t see through the horrific theatric whining job? Several go fund’ mes, starvation threat, woops he’s still here only this time it’s VENMO!! TRULY ill people don’t have the wherewithal for all these stunts!! Further he is harming the CP Community by divide and conquer and branding us as beggars and scammers. I said what l said..ps l am too old to care what you think or say so you can save it or send it as it doesn’t really matter to me lol
