Just great.
Then why do we need Obamao’s new plan if there are already so many on medicaid?
Can that be correct? Holy crow. Does it include Seniors on Medicare?
I am sure the figures are much higher now. Would love to know the exact amount. The media and politicians harp on Medicare but remain silent on Medicaid and how much it will cost American taxpayers if Obamacare goes thru in 2014.
I know. I had lunch with a friend who said she was getting her breast rebuilt because of a “free” operation that bill Clinton had passed into law. I explained to her but didn’t do it vociferously, because after all, she does have breast cancer, that it wasn’t “free” that it was being paid for by the taxpayers..........
These people don’t get that concept....I don’t know.
I keep wanting to do a film illustrative series. Show one person going to college while working flipping burgers while the other one just fritters away his time smoking pot and living off his mother. the one gradually works his/her way up to a decent job. The other doesn’t ever become skilled at anything or employable, just gets sick and stays poor. His mom dies of a broken heart. He gets sick because of poor nutrition, eating McDonald’s, smoking cigarettes and drinking beer, playing pool with his buds. The governments comes to the one making decent money and says: Hey, you are rich. This loser over here is poor. You have to pay loser’s medical. Girl/guy who worked and put self through college says you’re kidding me. Government says: what’s wrong with you. You are rich. You have to pay. You are bad. You are rich. You owe it to loser man who lived with his mom, did nothing but smoke cigarettes, yell at his mom that she was a bit8h, eat McDonalds, drink beer, get tickets, and play pool til he got sick. So shut up and pay up or we will make your life miserable, audit you, demonize you, etc. Welcome to Commie land.
How can we afford this?
How many are on food stamps? WIC? AFDC? MediCare? SSI?
Probably getting close to the majority
It’s coming to the point real soon, where only government employees will have medical benefits and retirement pensions.
Everyone else, will be twisting in the wind, or forced into 3rd world substandard government run medical care programs, which are on the verge of bankruptcy.
Correction. That is five of those on Medicaid are illegals,
And what are they, 90% Democrat?
I suspect a lot of that increase is seniors who have exhausted their savings on nursing home expenses. When my dad went into a nursing home, they handed us a Medicaid application. We explained that he had the resources to fund his own care and wouldn’t need to fall back on the Government. They smiled, and smugly said, “he will”.
The vast majority of crooked Fed & State bureaucrats are usually very 'liberal', pushing the totalitarian agenda of Obamaism
The GOP House leadership should demand outside-audits of each and every agency dealing with Medicare and Medicaid funds.
