Truth is states will never pay for more than 10% of Medicaid expansion.


Amazing. The federal government could never decide to saddle states with more of this burden?

so while the savior's state of Kentucky sees a great response from Obamacare and an expansion of Medicaid, both of which Louisiana taxpayers will help fund, Louisiana gets nothing.


Wouldn't this mean fewer states expanding medicare equals less burden on each state's tax base? Meaning it's still good for every state's tax base for every state not to expand?

1. There have been many studies that show the costs of the uninsured ways heavier on you through higher medical costs and insurance than does Medicare. Hospitals don't just take the loss when treating the uninsured. They pass it on to you. Like a store does with shoplifters.

2. You're not only paying for the uninsured in your state through higher premiums and medical costs but you're paying for Medicaid Expansion in these states:
