And most of these enrolled NEVER paid into ANY of our medical programs. Really unfair to those that have....because they are paying for it all. Massive freeloading.
Medicaid was , originally, for those who could not get any insurance or health care anywhere else, basically care for the Indigent. Now because of Obamacare the easy solution to provide Health Insurance for anyone was Medicaid. Except the dirty little secret was that costs for that program go through the roof, the government pays all cost for the the firs three year and the states start gradually paying their cost till sticker shock hits and they have to figure out how to pay the bill and they can’t.
We are in a hole with no way out.
