re: Ralph Abraham Rips Democrat Gov. John Bel Edwards for Medicaid Expansion Failure

Mom brings 6 kids (all hers), with 4 different last names, to the Doctor's office for a routine checkup. Each child carrying the newest iphone wearing $120 shoes, while mom waits in the lobby with her coach purse. When the kids are finished, mom just walks out, not even bothering to go to the front desk to pay. Don't worry, the tax payers got it.

Meanwhile, the reimbursement rate to the clinic for this visit is 35% of the original fees. The clinic is losing money to take care of/cure people and has to reduce staff (good paying jobs) to offset expenses. How backwards have we become as a society that this is ok?

This is what government control looks like. Those 6 kids only see mom leaving places without paying because they believe its all taken care of. If everyone is dependent on the state, then the politicians are needed more and more. The government will continue to grow and need more money to fund. Where do you think that money comes from?.....US
