Medicaid Enrollment spikes to 48 Million (gasoline, weapon, Obama, insurance)

[uggabugga]

More people signed up for Medicaid last year than at any time since the program's inception, as the recession wiped out jobs and workplace health coverage.

A report released Thursday by the nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation found that enrollment in the safety-net medical insurance program jumped to more than 48 million. With the economy barely improving, states are forecasting a 6 percent increase in the rolls next year, meaning another strain on their cash-depleted budgets.

Wait and see what happens if Obamacare is not repealed. Within ten years, we will ALL be on a medicaid program through Obamacare. That is what Obama wants.

It is only going to get worse. Look at the masses that will be put on the state Medicaid rolls as a result of Obamacare. The states are going to go broke but FAST!

And that doesn't include the 30 million obamacare will push on to the rolls.

In fact, Medicaid has been rising since 2000 (see chart).

I know you all like to blame Obama but, as usual, it is just a bit more complex than that.

And that will be a good thing. ...Although it will be tough for you being able to remodel the Aspen vacation chalet. Poor thing.

I wish I had a video of this Texan crying to Steve Martin in the movie The Jerk about not being able to replace the leather seats in his private airplane.

So apt.

And, how would that be a bad thing? Even Medicaid is better than nothing, isn't it?

Obama just has a knack of throwing gasoline on any fire via his policies. He hastens the bankruptsy of the nation and states alike.

They'll be an all out war in this country before socialistic values become that prevalent and in case you haven't noticed one group seems to be more open to owning weapon than the other.
