No, I wanted to seperate the two..was interested in the stats on medicaid which noone every talks about...alot of the research combines the two...there is a difference in medicaid which has been used from the womb to the tomb by many.

There are approximately 7 million double dippers, i.e., receiving both Medicare and Medicaid benefits. There are 47 million on Medicare. The Medicaid figures don’t include the millions more on CHIPS. 43 million are on food stamps. 54 million on SS.

I bet without illegal aliens it would be 1 in 10.

I went to the optometrist. When I was in there, they had an AA family and two illegal alien families. Guess who actually paid for the services? Me.

I could ovehear things and the state/feds were picking up their tabs.

Nope...does not include seniors on Medicare....Medicare and Medicaid are totally different programs....Medicare is actually a seperate deduction from your paycheck...Medicaid is directly funded through the regular tax system
