Rationing Begins: States Limiting Drug Prescriptions for Medicaid Patients
By Melanie Hunter
(CNSNews.com) – Sixteen states have set a limit on the number of prescription drugs they will cover for Medicaid patients, according to Kaiser Health News.
Seven of those states, according to Kaiser Health News, have enacted or tightened those limits in just the last two years.
Medicaid is a federal program that is carried out in partnership with state governments. It forms an important element of President Barack Obama's health-care plan because under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act--AKA Obamcare--a larger number of people will be covered by Medicaid, as the income cap is raised for the program.
With both the expanded Medicaid program and the federal subsidy for health-care premiums that will be available to people earning up to 400 percent of the poverty level, a larger percentage of the population will be wholly or partially dependent on the government for their health care under Obamacare than are now.

In Alabama, Medicaid patients are now limited to one brand-name drug, and HIV and psychiatric drugs are excluded.
Illinois has limited Medicaid patients to just four prescription drugs as a cost-cutting move, and patients who need more than four must get permission from the state.
Speaking on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal on Monday, Phil Galewitz, staff writer for Kaiser Health News, said the move “only hurts a limited number of patients.”
“Drugs make up a fair amount of costs for Medicaid. A lot of states have said a lot of drugs are available in generics where they cost less, so they see this sort of another move to push patients to take generics instead of brand,” Galewitz said.
“It only hurts a limited number of patients, ‘cause obviously it hurts patients who are taking multiple brand name drugs in the case of Alabama, Illinois. Some of the states are putting the limits on all drugs. It’s another place to cut. It doesn’t hurt everybody, but it could hurt some,” he added.
Galewitz said the move also puts doctors and patients in a “difficult position.”
“Some doctors I talked to would work with patients with asthma and diabetes, and sometimes it’s tricky to get the right drugs and the right dosage to figure out how to control some of this disease, and just when they get it right, now the state is telling them that, ‘Hey, you’re not going to get all this coverage. You may have to switch to a generic or find another way,’” he said.
Arkansas, California, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and West Virginia have all placed caps on the number of prescription drugs Medicaid patients can get.
“Some people say it’s a matter of you know states are throwing things up against the wall to see what might work, so states have tried, they’ve also tried formularies where they’ll pick certain brand name drugs over other drugs. So states try a whole lot of different things. They’re trying different ways of paying providers to try to maybe slow the costs down,” Galewitz said.
“So it seems like Medicaid’s sort of been one big experiment over the last number of years for states to try to control costs, and it’s an ongoing battle, and I think drugs is just now one of the … latest issues. And it’s a relatively recent thing, only in the last 10 years have we really seen states put these limits on monthly drugs,” he added.

Protests after convent accepts ex-wife of Belgian paedophile killer Marc Dutroux
Police have stepped up security around the remote convent that will host the ex-wife and accomplice of the notorious Belgian paedophile killer Marc Dutroux.

Local protesters daubed the word “No” in yellow on the walls of the order of
Saint Clare nunnery in the village of Malonne following a court decision on
Tuesday to parole Michelle Martin there.
Martin, 52, will serve the second half of her 30-year sentence in the convent
after being controversially paroled for her part in the kidnap, rape and
murder of young girls in the 1990s.
Dozens of locals staged a protest march to the convent and released white
balloons into the sky on Tuesday night, while calls for a major national
demonstration on Friday appeared on social media networks in Belgium.
“I asked for police reinforcements,” said Maxime Prevot, the mayor of the
nearby city of Namur. "The police dogs team is in place and officers are
controlling traffic.”
Martin, a former primary school teacher, was ordered by the court to "keep her
distance" from relatives of victims under the parole ruling which state
prosecutors have appealed.
Belgium's top appeal court has 30 days to consider the appeal.
Jean-Denis Lejeune, whose eight-year-old daughter Julie was one of four young
girls killed in Dutroux's murderous spree between 1995 and 1996, said the
decision to release Martin was “akin to chucking a fox into a henhouse.”
Dutroux himself was jailed for life in June 2004 for the kidnap and rape in the 1990s of six young and teenage girls and the murder of the four of them who died.
Martin was also convicted in 2004 helping Dutroux hold his victims prisoner, and of complicity in the deaths of two of the girls, found starved to death in a locked cellar.
Martin, who married Dutroux in 1983 and had three children by him before their divorce in 2003, has been in jail since the case was uncovered in 1996.
