It doesn't matter because Federal Taxes will be increased for EVERY Taxpayer in order to pay for the new 30+ million new Medicaid Mooches and the million more Illegal Aliens that will come here just for the "Freebies".

Hope McConnell gets the memo.

I see great problems.

Fist this article says the Feds will pick up most of the cost until 2016, can we assume that after 2016 the States bear the burden?

The Supreme Court says that States cannot be penalised (retaliated against) if they opt out. You can bet if Mr. Arrogance Obama is in the White House there will be retaliation.

I expect that 90% share the Government proposes to pay will be drastically cut over the years and the State left holding the bag.The future for Medicaid is expanding the numbers on it with less money for it IMO.

From the Hill article...“States have a lot to consider,” said Robin Rudowitz with the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured. “That is a lot of federal money sitting on the table.”

Duhhh...give the 'federal money sitting on the table' back to those the government took it from in the first place!!!

"You can make the political call real quick, but the actual decision is a complicated one,” said Matt Salo of the National Association of Medicaid Directors. “Governors are going to be looking at the numbers and asking: Does this make sense for us?"

I'm looking at just the mere existence of a "National Association of Medicaid Directors" and asking, does this make sense for us?
