One big problem is that federal Medicaid payment policy discriminates against the most vulnerable—the people it is meant to serve. The federal Medicaid rate for able-bodied, working-age adults is 30 percentage points higher than the average rate states receive for children, pregnant women, seniors and the disabled. That hurts those who need Medicaid the most. Research shows that the ObamaCare expansion diverted Medicaid resources from children and the disabled. Another study found that after the expansion, Medicaid enrollees were one-third less likely to obtain doctors’ appointments. Able-bodied working-age adults were taking appointment slots that before had gone to traditional Medicaid recipients. As a result, traditional Medicaid recipients often headed to emergency rooms for routine services.

Brian Blase and John Goodman will never suggest that out of 160 million Americans on Employer-Sponsored Health Insurance that employees who get cancer and become too sick to work have their insurance premiums rise from $724 monthly to $4,200 monthly when she as no income or hair. This is the Wisconsin State Plan premiums for single-parent mothers.
The corruption is so outragious that none of you big brain clowns can name one employer in America that warns employees that premiums increase by $3,000 monthly with cancer.
Come on you big brainers, name one employer that discloses that premiums shyrocket with a catastrophic cancer. Imagine all of the Americans that have died because you two have refused to discuss the absolute danger of employer insurance. There isn’t one employer in the USA!
This makes you two and Devin accomplices to murder. I hope you got paid to never mention the danger of Employer insurance on your 150 visits to FOX News! You are scum.
