In 24 of the nation’s 50 states at least half of the babies born during the latest year on record had their births paid for by Medicaid, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
New Mexico led all states with 72 percent of the babies born there in 2015 having their births covered by Medicaid.
Arkansas ranked second with 67 percent; Louisiana ranked third with 65 percent; and three states—Mississippi, Nevada and Wisconsin—tied for fourth place with 64 percent of babies born there covered by Medicaid.

WOO HOO! We’re Number one!!!
1. Mom is not married and not covered by parents insurance.
2. Mom is married but they don't have a high income or insurance from work so they are eligible.
3. I don't know if they are doing this now, but when I worked in the Indian health service, we put our ladoies on medicaid to stretch our inadequate budget.
Directly proportional to reliable democrat voter base both present and future, and a great indicator for increased welfare state employment in government jobs. A trifecta win among progressives.

When this collapses, it will take the US dollar with it.
I’ve posted on other threads that this country is changing demographically faster than projected, and even many of the white children being born are just cash registers for unmarried women.
I’m pretty sure we’re not being overrun by white kids on welfare
Look at the bright side, at least they were born and not aborted.
The question that I would have is how many of these births are to non-citizen undocumented parents. The child gets a US birth certificate and citizenship, the parents get a SNAP(food stamp) card and a guarantee of no deportation. Why wouldn’t people pay a coyote a few thousand to come to the US to have their child? It is a wise investment.
Just kind of puts the period on the end of the sentence that was Gary Johnson’s run for president.
If you live at the Jersey Shore you are; more importantly, their “beneficiaries” (”mom” & “baby-daddy”) vote.
How do you think the children will vote? This isn’t exactly a new phenomenon.

“Look at the bright side, at least they were born and not aborted.”
Agreed
the only new part being the massive influx of third worlders having 50 kids yippe mars here we come. Not really
There's a larger proportion of medicaid births per state versus total medicaid use for these states.
Would think they would be more inline with the total but medicaid births far surpass the percentages in most states.
“Idiocracy” was NOT supposed to be a “how-to” guide.
“Look at the bright side, at least they were born and not aborted.”
Absolutely. I just wish that our education system was better so these kids stood some chance despite their upbringing. Most will be born to moms who won’t give a fig about their care & education. Some will, but most won’t. It’s sad to see the number of single parent households. I just wish more of those single moms were like Ben Carson’s mom.
We desperately need to fix the education system. Bottom line.
The old saying in Arkansas was ...”Thank Heavens for Mississippi!”
Now it is “Thank Heavens for New Mexico!”
NEW MEXICO! What has happened to my home state!
The women come here, (Asian women stay in a hotel, courtesy of a pregnancy vacation scam they have going)l, have the baby, get citizenship for the kid and file for welfare benefits which they all collect when/if they go back to their country.
They can also get ss bennies.
So what is the population of New Mexico? Old white people and young hispanics/indians? (Do Native Americans get medicare on the reservation?) I’m not being snarky, I’m pro-life and glad when people have babies, but I do find it disturbing that 72% of children born in a state are born to the poor, all these numbers are a bit disturbing.
