Obamacare pilot program misses projections, cost Chicago $67 million

Expanded Medicaid was suppose to net Chicago $25-30 million but instead will cost the county $67 million in year one.

Chicago’s public health system is facing a massive $67 million shortfall after an early adoption of Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion cost much more than expected, Crain’s Chicago Business reports.
Cook County, which encompasses Chicago and its surrounding suburbs, made a deal with the Obama administration to get an early start on the health care law’s Medicaid expansion in 2012.
But the resulting program, CountyCare, is costing millions more than original projections. The prototype Medicaid expansion lost Cook County $21 million in the first six months of operation — that’s expected to balloon to $63.5 million by November 30, according to the Chicago Tribune.
CountyCare was expected to pad the city’s coffers. In 2013, state officials projected that the new system would bring in at least $28 million by November, Crain’s reported. The cost of caring for the influx of Medicaid patients has busted projections partially because the newly insured are seeking pricier medical care than expected.
While the program has already failed to meet budget projections this year, the problem is likely to get worse in 2015.

It would be sad if it wasn't so predictable.

Wait, Obamacare is going to be a gigantic financial boondoggle?

The people that keep buying Obama's lies and expecting different results reminds me of the pledges from the movie Animal House who were begging to be paddled. " Yes Master Obama, may I have another!"

It's pretty amazing that anyone could have possibly believed that an increase in services and bureaucracy was going to somehow cost less money.

Every single Dem that voted this legislation in should be hung at the stake with it.

That'll show that racist Jindal for refusing the expansion.

This must be more than offset by all the households that saved $2500 this year.

They knew these numbers were going to exist but had to cover their own arse by giving false figures.
Welp, that is reassuring
