The Medicaid program, fraught with corruption and fraud, will be eliminated except for the purpose of providing emergency room care to indigent non-citizens who will not be covered by the single-payer program.
Straight from the horses mouth. A single payer system and no Medicaid.
But when the Tea Party calls for REFORM, all we hear are cries of "you hate poor people!"
Anyone on the Left care to explain this particular nugget? Reform is problematic when it comes from conservatives, but not when its OWS/99%?
No, I do not support it. Block grants to the states for Medicaid as Ron Paul has proposed are the best way to get the services where they are needed and cut corruption on the federal end.
Those who are responsible enough to pay their own health insurance and save their money for their medical care should not have to be bound to any government health plan as mandated by single payer or Obamacare, period. It removes the personal liberty of the pursuit of LIFE.
Medicare for all American citizens or another single-payer healthcare system, adjusted by a means test (i.e. citizens who can afford it may opt-out and pay their own health insurance or opt-in and pay a means tested premium). The Medicaid program, fraught with corruption and fraud, will be eliminated except for the purpose of providing emergency room care to indigent non-citizens who will not be covered by the single-payer program.
I've seen estimates there are upwards of 60 billion a year in medicare fraud. Now Obama had a plan to fix all that and said this is how he will pay for his healthcare plan but we have to pass it for him to let us in on his little secret to stop all the fraud. Well it's passed. Anybody seen any of this fraud being snuffed out as I haven't?
That certainly is not a comparison to the Tea Party that just wants to get rid of any and all Medicaid type offerings to leave those who can't afford care to just drop dead. I guess that would lower costs if all the sick people died, I wonder how many Tea Partiers are covered by those programs...

Obama has hired more investigators to root out fraud, and guess what? More fraud has been rooted out. Its so easy to understand that even a conservative might figure it out.

Pelosi said it was closer to $500 billion and it would pay for obamacare.
