Can't sue for Malpractice due to having Medicaid under the ACA? [View all]
My sister, still in Missouri, has been told she is not allowed to sue a doctor because she has medicaid and because of the ACA.
She has also been told by a , in my opinion, slum lord, that she is $3000 in back rent. He only takes cash and gives no receipts.Big kicker is no contract either.
Told her to go to Legal Aid. She said they told her to suck it up and pay it. They say they only handle battered women cases. And due to fiances, she can't go to a layer.
Now, I know I maybe a little spoiled living in Tucson, but this sounds funky.
I have not seen anything in the ACA that says you have to receive poor care and no legal avenue to take.
And as for Legal Aid not defending a poor person against a thug as this guy appears to be is bending my mind!
If this is a ploy to get me back there, it makes me want to stay more.
So has anyone read anything in the ACA that says people on medicaid can not sue for malpractice?
And those in Missouri, have any heard that Legal Aid only handles abuse cases?
And she also said that renter's rights don't apply to her because she is in a trailer. Any Missourian confirm or deny this.
