Posted by AEM-7AC #901 on Tue May 27 13:44:14 2014, in response to ACA piles on costs to states thanks to Medicaid requirements, posted by Olog-hai on Tue May 27 07:12:07 2014. So in other words, some of the people signing up for Medicaid are people who were already eligible for it, and the states are responsible for their portion of the costs. For all intents and purposes, this isn't an Obamacare problem per se since states could have easily faced this issue in the long-run, but it's a problem with law that created the programme in the first place. For all intents and purposes, the states shouldn't be in the business of providing social welfare, nor should municipalities due to the fact that the decision to provide such services can put a state at a competitive disadvantage vis à vis other states that choose to skimp on such programmes, and states and municipal governments simply lack the funding flexibility that the federal government has during downturns to fund such programmes. |
