Not only is the state number one; my county is number one in the state. We will be on the market and looking for an exit before spring!
You have to understand that they are counting the medicaid enrollees as Obamacare enrollees.
The average wage in much of WA is just over 550,000/yr, and the cap on Medicaid is $63,000. So, that should tell you what a mess we have in WA State.
On top of that, every person who was on Medicaid when Obamacare started, had to sign up again, as an Obamacare enrollee. So, they really played with the numbers and someone is going to have to pay for all those new Medicaid patients once the federal funds run out.
So, does that mean that the state isn’t paying for any Medicaid patients, that the feds are paying for all of WA Medicaid? There isn’t much clarity to all this.
