Medicaid has 72 million people enrolled and consumes 20% of states' annual budgets. Yet the government's approved payment amounts to providers are so ridiculously low that many patients on Medicaid cannot find doctors or hospitals that will take it.

I do not see anywhere in the Constitution where it is the job of government to provide healthcare.

“I do not see anywhere in the Constitution where it is the job of government to provide healthcare.”

You are exactly right, it just adds insult to injury to know that they take all that money and waste it so badly that it buys very little care for anybody. Some statistics seem to indicate that people on Medicaid are far less healthy than those who have no coverage of any kind.
