Obamacare sticks federal taxpayers with 100 percent of Medicaid expansion benefit costs through 2016.

Then 2017 should be a fun year.

The bill is running up on our children, their children, and
future generations for 100s of years.

Well the state share only goes to 10% and that’s not until 2020.

You have to think that a lot of lower middle class income earners are intentionally restricting their reportable incomes by taking part-time jobs and doing cash jobs on the side. That way they can qualify for Medicaid and the EITC.

Only chumps work full time and pay for high deductible 0-care even with the subsidies.

A whole big chunk of America is going to be sold on part-time work with government benefits instead of realizing their potential.

I don’t believe creditors will wait that long. The US will be forced into a bankruptcy type reorganization with assets sold to satisfy creditors. There is no way this can go on forever.

Maybe the Chinese, Brazilians, Germans, etc., will do a better job of running our National Parks, Mineral leases, and other gov’t owned assets than the fedgov is doing today.

Now wait a minute here. All the obamacare supporters have been telling me that obamacare gets people to pay for their own health care bills instead of the taxpayers paying for it. This has to be satire /s

Ohio went for Obama both times. Kasich is just giving them what they asked for.

Great news! “Free” health care for 450,000 people. Hell. Why don’t they expand it to the entire state population so that everyone has “free” healthcare??? The “rich” from some other state can afford it.

More to the point, its the only affordable health plan people can sign up for that has no enrollment or eligibility restrictions.

I’m not surprised people are taking advantage of it, because let’s face it, the Obamacare health exchanges quite simply suck.

I own a small business and have a very low gross adjusted income.

We had private insurance, but our plans were cancelled. Our agent was also on the board in charge of implementing Obamacare, so she knew what she was doing when she tried to sign us up. The web site wouldn’t take our info (of course) so we had to do it over the phone. After working with the genius on the phone for over an hour, he says that no plans are being offered to us because our income is so low that we only qualify for Medicade.

So our choice was Medicade or nothing.

Guess what we chose?

Will all legislators who voted for this commie BS be buried in unmarked graves so people cannot desecrate them? I wonder.

Anther John probably figures he will be out of office by the time the deasterous bill comes due.

There is no way Ohio can afford this, and with Washington in 18 trillion in debt already its really just a handful of years before she cant pay the interest on the debt to pay for this either. This country will be defenseless in an evermore dangerous post-Obama world. So rust belt Ohioan will be pritty much screwed as far as economic recovery as instidual center china dictates policy.

Im sure when All Ohioans are forced to learn Spanish or Chinese nobody will really care about the unsustainable domestic spending that sent them there.
