(CNSNews.com) - In 24 of the nation’s 50 states at least half of the babies born during the latest year on record had their births paid for by Medicaid, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
New Mexico led all states with 72 percent of the babies born there in 2015 having their births covered by Medicaid.
Arkansas ranked second with 67 percent; Louisiana ranked third with 65 percent; and three states—Mississippi, Nevada and Wisconsin—tied for fourth place with 64 percent of babies born there covered by Medicaid.
New Hampshire earned the distinction of having the smallest percentage of babies born on Medicaid. In that state, Medicaid paid for the births of only 27 percent of the babies born in 2015.
Virginia and Utah tied for the next to last position, with 31 percent of the babies born on Medicaid.
However, according to KFF, some of the nation’s most populous states shared the distinction of having 50 percent or more of the babies born there born on Medicaid.
In California, Florida and Illinois, for example, 50 percent of all babies were born on Medicaid in the latest year on record.

How many are children of illegal aliens?
We had DOL training for veterans reps in Denver when I was at the unemployment office. New Mexico were the lowest paid people and Illinois the highest paid.
More than half, I’ll bet.
We’re #1!
We’re #1!
Wait, what?
I was thinking an even higher percentage.
“More than half, I’ll bet.”
The number is high but not more than half as no state has a population that is comprised of more than 50% illegal alien. Furthermore, while illegal aliens have babies here, they are not covered by Medicaid. However, their babies would be covered as they are citizens.
All of these mothers that are legal are obviously of working age.
We’re number one!
The least capable people have the highest birthrates. Sort of a reverse natural selection.
yes, idiocracy was a documentary... see the intro
Wisconsin at 64%? Anyone know what’s going on there?
If intercourse was a 5 step operation, there would be far fewer problems in this world.
So taxpayers are flipping the bill for lazy breeders from cradle to grave. This is why our nation is broke.
We should pass a law that requires you to be able to read to have sex.
If these people are capable enough to breed, they’re capable of working and paying their own bills.
Unreal we’re picking up the tab. They should receive the minimum care if the taxpayers are paying. This means mid-wives and no hospital stays.
CA has 50% kids born with Medicaid. Half of those, or 25% of all births being born to illegals, sounds close to me.
[[We should pass a law that requires you to be able to read to have sex.]]
Crap- can someone read this sentence to me please?
That’s racist
