The fees paid by Medicaid are about 50% of the fees that a physician gets from Blue Cross or any other health carrier. Doctors who treat Medicaid patients generally lose money but they do it in order to give poor patients care. Getting paid for treating Medicaid patients is the functional equivalent of doing charity work.

This is a dirty smear job by NBC.

A lot of doctors would rather quit the practice than treat Medicaid patients. Most of them are Democrats.

The MSM Campaign to destroy Michelle Bachmann has begun in earnest.

It's actually 30 cents on the dollar, but I shan't quibble about the sum.

Bachmann's problem is that she LIES about these kinds of things, when there is no need to.

Try about 30% for Medicaid and 50% for Medicare.

The MSM Campaign to destroy Michelle Bachmann has begun in earnest.

And a lot of cultists, including some FReepers, are more than willing to help out the MSM in their attempts.

Let me see if I get this: the media doesn’t want doctors to treat Medicaid patients?

Do I have that right?
