What does “created and supported” mean? I’ve never seen that terminology used.
If it created 19,800 jobs that would be a big number, but if it supported 19,800 jobs that doesn’t mean anything really.
But if anyone thinks the best way to grow the economy and create jobs is via Medicaid, we are in big trouble.
7% match now, 10% next and then what? And keep in mind the applicants are growing faster than anyone thought so it’s not just the percentage you have to be concerned with it’s the big pool of people.
Oh and then there’s the fraud. The state would have to hire more folks to police the system.

Yea I’m not quite sure how Medicaid dollars “create jobs”
Dropping piles of money on a society doesn’t create jobs, it creates inflation

This is already happening except computers are doing the work. Thousands are being discovered and kicked off Medicaid roles. We have some poor arse people in this state. We also have some people that are abusing Medicaid. Kick their asses off.
30,000 kicked off in April

It caps at 10%. The federal government keeps paying 90%.
