As the feds now back off with assistance.

"Several states that chose to expand Medicaid eligibility under ObamaCare now are facing deadline pressure to pay for it, the result of more signups than anticipated -- and, a looming reduction in how much of the bill the federal government will cover."

The eternal flaw of Medicaid. Its so much easier to simply waddle into the ER than it is to make an appointment and wait to see one of the three doctors in the ghetto who actually accepting Medicaid patients.

Oh look! Lets blame a subsection of Americans! The Millennials! Thats it!



Or we could just be more honest and say-hey we need to get people medical coverage, lets deal with this as its a not unreasonable request-given that almost every other developed country in the freaking world manages it. Even Mexico has universal healthcare!

Sorry.... in 2012, only the under 40 demographic voted for Obama in the majority.

You can pay for it via increased payroll taxes.

They can also impose a special 'illegals' tax on Millenials to pay for their welfare costs.

How many checks over and above your normal income tax check have YOU sent to Uncle sam for this cost?

It is ALWAYS easy to want others to spend money that is not theirs!

What a surprise.

This is exactly what I said would happen. To compound the matter further, most physicians do not take or limit the number of medicaid patients they see. Thus, they have "insurance", when in reality they have very limited coverage and options, at great cost to the tax payer.

Another liberal wanting everything........................................ .............. for free!

Who is going to pay for this? Ultimately, someone must pay; in all cases, the liberals want someone else to pay for these things and do not want to pony up a dime themselves.

Let's look at the liberal "want list"

1. Free healthcare for everyone
2. Free college education
3. Free or subsidized daycare
4. Foodstamps and Free housing
5. Full economic support for more and more illegal aliens with no skills
6. High speed rail system (what on earth for?)
7. MORE MONEY (despite the fact that we spend the most in the world) for education- maybe it is the breakdown of the family and lack of emphasis on education that is causing poor test scores and not lack of money.
8. "tax refunds" for illegals who never paid taxes


We live in a world of limited resources and one must allocate those resources appropriately. As a poster noted above, the best solution to "the uninsured" would have been to roll them into mediare and increase the payroll tax to cover them.
