Dear GOP: He’s laughing at you and your cheap-ass Medicaid ways:
The more Br’er Rabbit punches and kicks the tar baby (Medicaid), the worse he gets stuck.
It’s the Health Care, Stupid – Politico
“…This time, the GOP’s bet seems to be that the public equates Medicaid with welfare — a program that largely benefits the poor and undeserving. The most popular plan for trimming it down, in fact, involves imposing work requirements on ‘able-bodied adults.’
“What they are papering over is just how much the program has been transformed over the past decade: The ACA greatly expanded its enrollment in most states beyond the truly indigent, and many seniors rely on it for nursing and other high-intensity care. The program also includes a program for safety-net hospitals that, if touched, could blow a hole in private health care systems’ budgets.”
