https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/medicaid-enrollment-surges-stirs-worry-125824063.html Obamacare is the gift that keeps on destroying. Obama and the Democrats plan to weaken America is working just as intended.
this was predicted and its why some states opted out. which is why Obama went to court to get Roberts to rewrite the law.
no kidding, everybody asked when the federal funding runs out where will the states get money for medicaid? And they answered, "That won't happen until two years down the road."
Let's reign in the price gouging by doctors, hospitals, physical"therapy", big pharm, "home & medical equip" supply houses. That be a good start to cutting costs of healthcare...as is ACA to humane health care for all
you left out the insurance companies which now per obama can force us to pay 50% more for plans which include services we don't need. We have lost our ability to negotiate with the threat of an opt out so we are screwed by your team.
is it even legal now to just pay the penalty and purchase a non compliant policy at a lower price which suits your needs better?
You used the present tense in your Title. This is of course nonsense. Your Title should have read "In Defiance of Economic Studies, Republicans Still Claiming Medicaid Expansion will Cripple State Budgets ." That article you posted has to do with ridiculous projections three years hence. All the studies I have seen indicate that the additional revenue from medicaid expansion will cover, or exceed, projected State outlays. In the meantime Republican Governors continue their political malpractice, saddling their constituents with a tax bill for which they get nothing and simultaneously denying routine care to hundreds of thousands of their constituents in each State that failed to expand medicaid. At the same time they've thrown a monkey wrench into the formula used to determine who can qualify for insurance premium subsidies. Of course, these are mainly the backward Southern States, whose economies lag the more forward looking States. Is it any wonder? This is pure politics at the expense of millions. All of these irresponsible governors should be drawn and quartered. There are many serious defects in O'Romneycare that can, and should be, criticized, and corrected! Expansion of medicaid, however, is not one of these defects. Its one of a few very good features. What you are doing here is championing political malpractice, and that is not something you should be lauded for.
your projections are better than these projections? did your projections come from Gruber's models? lets see them. project for the increased enrollments this article was talking about... then go to Gruber models and Gruber us again. your indignation is funny. As if the left runs cities and states in a fiscally responsible manner. You act like govt projections are reliable... Don't forget your team lives in a land of unicorns where a slowdown in spending increases is called budget cuts. Although you apparently deleted the last part... Once again this is not Romneycare... this is Obama/Roberts/crony care.
