Title: Medicaid enrollment surges, stirs worry about state budgets
Post by: I_B_Perky on July 19, 2015, 09:35:16 PM

AP article so I'll just post the link:

We told the dummies... and anybody else that would listen this would happen. Seems there is no free obamacare lunch. Of course the AP says that the saving will out pace the expenditures and the folks that got health insurance would no longer go to the ER for the medical care.

Oregon has a different result:

It will be its own death spiral as the costs hit the county budgets and property taxes explode.
This in turn will create even more of a mass exodus from those states.

Many of the states that expanded medicaid were already in serious financial trouble form other liberal policies. Illinois comes to mind for some reason. :whistling:

Why oh why has Congress stood idly by and NOT impeached this dictator to prevent Barrycare, from progressing? You can come up with all the excuses...but at the end of the day...they should have at least tried.   That is the ONLY thing that will curtail any of the crap that he is trying to get away with.
