State and counties are enrolling inmates for two main reasons. Although Medicaid does not cover standard health care for inmates, it can pay for their hospital stays beyond 24 hours meaning states can transfer millions of dollars of obligations to the federal government. Great. Just great. because everyone know the Federal Government is just flush with cash. (Remember when the country use to run 200+ billion dollar deficits and the press would scream bloody murder. Now that we run 1+ trillion deficits the MSM doesn't make a peep.)

I can’t fault state and local governments for shifting prisoner healthcare expenses to the feds.
