> urgent care clinics should be allowed to bill Medicaid or a similar program I believe they can already, at least if it's patients who qualify for Medicaid (if you're proposing expanding Medicaid to temporarily cover all uninsured, then it's true that isn't the case). But it's up to the urgent-care clinics whether they want to take Medicaid patients or not. Around me, some do and some don't. The ones that don't, refuse it because they aren't willing to perform services at the Medicaid rates (Medicaid has fixed reimbursement schedules, set by each state).
