Medicaid enrollment surged by more than 1 million people in April, bringing the total growth in the state-federal health insurance program for the poor since September to about 6 million, the Obama administration said Wednesday.

Overall, Medicaid enrollment in 47 states and the District of Columbia topped 65 million in April, compared to 59 million in September for those same states, according to the report from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Connecticut, Maine and North Dakota did not report their Medicaid enrollments.

“This is good news,” said Rachel Klein, director of organizational strategy & enrollment at Families USA, a consumer advocacy group. “This increase reflects the ongoing outreach effort in states … and that states are still processing applications they received earlier.”

The number of takers in this nation is simply amazing. The herd needs to be seriously thinned.

Medicaid = taxpayer-funded welfare parasite bleeding Social Security dry.
Otherwise, no problem!

This is to be expected from a member of the elite, whose sole job is to spend the earned wealth of people who actually work, and measure their success by how quickly they can achieve unsustainability.
Take careful note of their name : consumer advocacy group; not producer advocacy group. That says it all.
What skills are required to give away other people's hard earned money?

When the takers outnumber the producers, then what?

Prepare now, if you haven’t already.
