I hope everybody realizes how this is occurring.

The subsidy calculation is supposed cap premium costs at specific percentage of the person's earnings. Premiums go up, salaries don't keep up, eventually people hit the cap. After that the gov eats the rest.

Expanded Medicaid has a schedule to shift costs to the states starting this year, and eventually gets to 10% by 2020. States are already having budgetary issues with the lower percentages that kick in this year. The libs are already trying to blame these cuts on the GOP and a result Trump's election. This turd has been coming down the pipe since they passed the law in 2010.

California has the answer. Insure everybody legally here or not. What could go wrong?

Medi-Cal will soon cover children in the U.S. illegally. The real battle? Getting adults insured

The gov eats the rest? Taxpayers eat the premium subsidies which will total approximately $32.8 billion in 2016.
