The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services--the federal agency that created and is operating the Obamacare exchanges--says in a budget document provided to the congressional appropriations committees that the Medicare, Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) will cover almost 116,000,000 Americans in 2014. That equals approximately 37 percent of the nation’s total population and approximately 43 percent of the population that will have some kind of health insurance.

82 million are already on Medicaid. The primary goal of Obamacare was to add millions more to the welfare rolls to shore up votes for Democrats for years to come, so that the most unpalatable parts of the left’s agenda, such as giving up U.S. sovereignty to foreign bodies, can move forward. They are succeeding. This is why it was so important to try to defund Obamacare at all costs. It will be almost impossible to unravel it once the checks start being sent out next year. There will be a huge backlash that will drive Republicans out of office and install a permanent Democrat majority. Shortly thereafter, the U.N.’s authority will be set up to usurp all of our constitutional rights and principles.

Never thought about it like this....but maybe this is how the communists are trying to enact single payer. Destroy all prosperity, offer Medicaid to those they destroyed. Single-payer is enacted without firing a shot.

They aren’t going to like it much when people start turning to the concierge doctors, especially when the price differentials expose the artificial inflated pricing in medical care

I wonder what would happen if all the takers moved to the States that expanded Medicaid?
On second thought those States would only collapse if they couldn’t take money from the taxpayers in the States that didn’t expand Medicaid and give to those that did.

Just wait until Obama bails out California and we all get to share in the costs of their very expensive socialism and the very expensive implementation of their radical left social policies.
