Article Abstract:

West Virginia is planning to ask residents eligible for Medicaid due to low income, to sign documents listing 'member responsibilities and rights' including adherence to medication and physicians' appointments. The practical difficulties in following the agreement are discussed, suggesting that physicians must take on the responsibility of speaking out and explaining how these policies affect their practices and their patients' health.
