re: Legislative session opens today. It will be a disaster.

It is, but starting next year, it goes from 100% funding to 95% of what was projected 2 years ago. In two more years, it's only 90%. The cost has already run at least 30% higher than those projections. That means we'll be on the hook for 27% of the costs next year and 31% in 2 more years even if no more people get on medicaid. Soon after that, the federal government may drop their percentage even further! Medicaid expansion was nothing more than selling your car to pay your credit card bill only to turn around and buy another car with your credit card. It was a short-sighted, short-term bandaid with long term repercussions.
