re: JBE's Medicaid Expansion is going to rape Louisiana's budget situation

If Medicaid was eliminated entirely, as some of you would like, it would result in these former Medicaid patients going to emergency rooms for every ache and pain. It would result in a lot of hospitals going bankrupt because every ER has signs all over the place saying you WILL BE TREATED REGARDLESS OF YOUR ABILITY TO PAY. And who do you think will eventually have to foot the bill?
Medicaid has its faults but some form of it is necessary because (1) a compassionate society has an obligation to care for truly indigent people and(2) we are going to end up paying for them anyway.

Or they could just go to urgent care and the regular physician like a smart person?

Actually this is one reason why healthcare is so expensive in this country as healthcare is a commodity and a scarce good and when you force it to be sold to anyone and everyone, you create a more expensive market.

It's not necessary.
