But then how would liberals make six-figure incomes as bureaucrats administering their failed programs?

You also haven't the faintest idea how COBRA works. See this: https://www.verywell.com/how-much-do...e-cost-1738554. Nothing to do with how much health care you're using.

Not denying that it could happen as states differ in their qualifications. But having taken care of Medicaid patients since day #1 I have heard about, seen or suspected very little abuse. No doubt that a few have successfully hidden or divested themselves of wealth in order to enroll.

The Medicaid expansion is part of Obamacare.

The question mark denotes that I asked a question. Sorry you're having trouble with punctuation.


P.S. If he's honest, he'll acknowledge that physicians don't want to see Medicaid patients. In general, the people who see them are forced to, although there are a small minority of people who do so willingly.

See, even though I disagree with your political beliefs, I can at least acknowledge that you're not one of these serial-lying liberals. Good job.
