the new enrollees on Medicaid had health care before this debacle...they just had to show up a clinic or hospital....they can't be denied treatment if they need it...

however now, they'll be in the "system" and their free for all ER visits demanding drugs will be carefully recorded....

they think they have it better now, but now, they'll have to go to a very limited number of drs, perhaps across town, and be limited in the kinds of drugs they'll be prescribed, and the number of ct scans etc....

Cherry, the news is actually worse than that.

Several years ago, Oregon expanded its Medicaid services to a system very much like ObamaCare.

Oregon claimed, just like ObamaCare has claimed, that demand for Emergency Room services would go down dramatically when everyone had insurance.

What happened?

New people who were enrolled in Medicaid INCREASED their E.R. visits by 40%!
