“ObamaCare” Medicaid expansion is ‘WELFARE’ – expanding the qualifying conditions for participants to have 100 percent of their costs covered by the government. Under the provisions of “ObamaCare” it is adding an additional 11 million to the almost 68 million already in it.
It is now voluntary for states to expand Medicaid coverage – A devised Democrat way to get even Republican governors to buy into a welfare program they know can only hurt our nation. So now, Gov. Jan Brewer is joining other Republican Governors and drinking Medicaid Kool-aid.

There are doctors already refusing to take on new Medicare and Medicaid patients due to small reimbursements. Some practices are directing Medicare/Medicaid patients to find other doctors, and are dropping them from their patient list.
How are the few doctors and facilities now taking the current patients going to add all the new people? More people and less doctors. How does that work?

Through the big impact of the government-run health insurance program – called “ObamaCare” Medicaid welfare. And with more Medicaid money through Obama’s big government spending that the Democrats want.
