But that has nothing to do with what was asserted and refuted, which was the implication that a white woman was not dark enough to be representative


Whites only make up 38% of all medicaid recipients so he was correct

Fwiw, combining all the groups more "tan" than white puts the number of recipients at 60%. Not tan enough is more correct than your refutation.

That’s incorrect. Many of those groups are made of people who are just as white as “white people”. Many hispanics are lily-white, including both of my sisters-in-law. Many Asians, too.

You know very well that is just one person and does not represent the average Medicaid recipient.

But there are thousands of people out there that do abuse the system. Those cases need to be dealt with.

All I will say is, every single person I knew that got onto disability and Medicaid was white.

As someone who sees Medicaid patients every day of the week I can honestly testify that are a metric f**k ton of people on Medicaid who shouldn’t be on Medicaid.

Medicaid Enrollment and Unwinding Tracker

Enrollment Data Unwinding Data - Archived State Data - Archived Related Resources
Note: The data presented below are updated monthly as new Medicaid/CHIP enrollment data become available.

The Medicaid Enrollment and Unwinding Tracker presents the most recent data on monthly Medicaid/CHIP enrollment reported by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) as part of the Performance Indicator Project as well as archived data on renewal outcomes reported by states during the unwinding of the Medicaid continuous enrollment provision. The unwinding data were pulled from state websites, where available, and from CMS.

Medicaid/CHIP Enrollment Trends
Medicaid/CHIP enrollment trends generally use February 2020 as the baseline month because it was the month prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and implementation of the continuous enrollment provision. During continuous enrollment, which was in place during the three years of the pandemic, states paused Medicaid disenrollments. As a result, when the continuous enrollment provision ended in March 2023, national Medicaid/CHIP enrollment had increased to a record high of 94 million enrollees. Beginning April 1, 2023, states could resume disenrolling people after conducting renewals to verify eligibility for the program, though some states delayed the start of their unwinding periods until May, June, or July 2023. Most states took 12 months to complete unwinding renewals and nearly all states completed renewals by August 2024.

The figures below show Medicaid and CHIP enrollment from February 2020 through the most current month of available data. Some figures also include enrollment for adults and children in Medicaid/CHIP. Key enrollment trends as of March 2025 include:

There are 78.6 million people enrolled in Medicaid/CHIP nationally (Figure 1). This represents a 17% decline from total Medicaid/CHIP enrollment in March 2023, but is still 10% higher than Medicaid/CHIP enrollment in February 2020, prior to the pandemic (Figure 2 and Table 1).

Also, even using 2023 numbers, your chart is slightly off

But thank you for proving my point that white people do not make up the majority of those on medicaid and are underepresented relative to their population size.

Your chart shows that certain ethnicities are underrepresented by population makeup while others are overrepresented.

Its not that I live in a cave. Its that every race has people working the system. I just happen to know a shite ton of white people on disability for BS, who are also on Medicaid. The system is being severely abused by everyone.

In this cross-sectional study of 1.4 billion US ED visits from between 2006 and 2016 and 405 million hospital discharges between 2006 and 2016, proportions of ED visits and hospital discharges by uninsured patients declined from 16% to 8% and 6% to 4%, respectively, after the 2014 ACA insurance expansions. Among patients aged 18 to 64 years, declines were from 20% to 11% and 10% to 7%, respectively.

Each newly uninsured person leads to nearly $900 in uncompensated care costs, of which hospitals absorb approximately two thirds as lost profits.

So you can't work 20 hrs? It is the same thing as those cry babies that bitched about not being able to work from home.
