So by reducing Medicaide states can negate ObamaCare?

[Jane Long]

It's a central part of the law (expanding Medicaid) - accounting for roughly half of all the uninsured people expected to gain coverage.

The "uninsured" could eventually become the elderly, handicapped and "others" who cannot work or afford to pay the mandate/tax/penalty/fine....right?

[Deagle]

It is a part of Obamacare - and unfunded later (as expected by the Federals). You take care of them now and we promise to provide you with lots of money now and much less later.

Just a normal promise of the bureaucrats in Washington.

Are you really for this? Do you really think that the States can afford this in future years?

[Deagle]

Since when does Medicare or Medicaid have any effect on what the government is providing?

One, the Government (Federal and State) is providing almost all of the cost.

So, you think that allowing many more folks to enroll in Medicaid is going to reduce cost? (Obamacare)

Does that mean that so many without coverage are going to sign up are much less than the cost of medical care? Are you really serious? (Obamacare)

How about the cost of Medicare (500 billion removed from them and placed into the cost of Obamacare- Medicaid). I guess that will reduce costs even more. Well, how about the bill in Congress that reduces the costs of Doctors providing case to Medicare patients, It is being reduced. There are many Doctors leaving both the practice and not accepting Medicare as an insurance agent - so what to do, hey?

Ah yeah, I can see the benefits of Obamacare but I do pity the costs that are forced upon my children and grand children! No problem, I am a selfish son-of-a-bitch!
