You've presented a great argument against Medicaid -- period.

I would support any state like Alabama, Louisiana, etc. that challenged the constitutionality of Medicaid. That's not what this case was all about, so your point isn't even relevant.

Now, tell me the part of the Constitution which authorizes the distribution of taxpayer dollars to private corporations ...

Are you going to suggest that the Constitution only permits the Federal government to build and maintain its property and equipment using government employees?

That is irrelevant. Of course the government can hire private citizens and companies to PERFORM WORK AUTHORIZED by the Constitution.

I will make this simple. Where does the Constitution authorize the federal government to DISTRIBUTE taxpayer dollars to private corporations. The key word is DISTRIBUTE, not PAY for services rendered.
