The federal government agreed to pay the full tab for the Medicaid expansion when it begins in 2014.

Please allow me to do some truthful, realistic editing to that sentence:

The federal government agreed to pay the full tab force the US taxpayers to pay for the Medicaid expansion when it begins in 2014.

The medical industry is freaking out about this.

They were counting heavily on all the new Obama Dollars they would get under the proposed Medicaid expansion.

“Bunnie Gronborg, 64, of Festus, Mo., said she has two sons in their 30s who are single fathers who lost construction jobs and now lack health insurance. She had hoped they could be covered by the Medicaid expansion, and she doesn’t buy the explanation that the state cannot afford it.

“There’s absolutely no reason” to reject the expansion, “except being vindictive and playing political games with people’s actual health care,” Gronborg said.”

Oh yeah, lady, the state of Missouri has tons of money in this economy, no reason whatsoever/sarc

At the same time all states that don`t accept BO`s commie care should give those deadbeats whining about not getting to use that feeding trough a one way bus ticket to states that do. When things really do fall apart, we can just cut them lose, moochers and all.

AP: Always Propaganda

“Republicans in at least four states want to abandon ...the poor.”

(Yep, that’s how J-school teaches them to subliminally manipulate stories...)

Under obumacare, $303 million is alotted to hire new IRS goons to harass Americans.

I’m kinda curious about how many of these tough guys would last a minute in the ring with a girl scout.

These new gestapo freaks will be living in our neighborhoods. Time to apply the Founder’s remedies to Tory traitors.

The expansion of Medicaid was planned to accommodate the illegal immigrants. After the states were forced to expand their coverage and took the federal money, they would change the rules administratively and require the states to include the illegals. That was the plan which would break the states and make them totally dependent on the feds. A previous example of this kind of activity was when the feds offered one time payments for the states to expand their unemployment payments to include people who would not ordinarily qualify (such as college students, part-time/intermittent employees, etc.). If the states changed their laws and accepted the money, they couldn’t change them back later .... they owned you.

Many doctors will not accept new Medicaid or Medicare patients. They limit the number of these to a set amount which they consider as a loss and charity work. If you have a good payment history or previous relationship with the doctor, then they may keep you after you acquire Medicare. Many doctors are going cash only where you pay and then file with your insurance to get reimbursed. Some doctors are charging an annual fee to the patient just to get accepted as a patient.
