Think you might have meant Medicade. Medicare was not involved with Obamacare.

In summary, much adieu to add a net 2-3 hundred thousand insureds.

You are correct, sir. I get the 2 mixed up in name, but understand the differences.

If I understand what I read correctly, Medicaid once eligible, is paid 1/2 by the state & 1/2 by the Feds. But if someone signs in through the AHA website to determine eligibility - and is determined to be eligible for medicaid, the fed pays the whole bill.

So, the question will be how many people of the claimed 7 mil were enrolled in medicaid vs. an actual obamacare plan? And from which states? Some states report the number monthly, some don't.

I think in the long run, this is going as designed, a flop by design. So as to make the next case the next healthcare debacle - The obamacare bailout - and on to single-payer. True socialism.

In fairness, if the opposition were to gain all 4 legislative branches - y'know, house, senate, executive and judicial (see what I did there?) and instituted something different, you could rest assured they wouldn't roll back a single tax hike from the AHA.

It's a mess, but lets at least stop the lying and spinning of the numbers. Registering someone who was eligible for medicaid to begin with shouldnt count toward the fake number.

Entitlement has a very different definition.

Corporations get the very best entitlements. But modern "wisdom" is to carp about feeding the poor.

Yes. And corporations are people too - according to the new laws . . . .

I recon everyone is entitled to something . . . . The poor, the middle class, Walmart . . . .

To those with no insurance or with overly expensive premiums and huge deductibles that covered little except for the pockets of insurance executives, pharma, and their investors, Obamacare might be considered adequate or if nothing else, as the "equalizer" (aka Medicaid) for decades of neglect.

Medicaid for all exceptn' the rich and Government elite of course.

Is this a serious question or are you just auditing for a book?
You don't know the Maryland exchange very well, do you?
