>>> We aren't talking Medicaid here. That is an already existing program which isn't in the process of being expanded. Not sure where you got that idea but it is wrong. That's why Landrieu and Nelson got kicked back for the increases in the unfunded state Medicaid mandates. For example, in the state I live in, there are currently 700,000 people (1/3 of the state's population) on Medicaid. The Senate bill will expand that by 40% to 975,000. One out of 2.5 people in this state will be on the government dole for their healthcare. And that excludes Medicare and other handouts. Which is precisely what we were talking about when I informed you that we weren't talking about insurance. As I said, you don't know what's in the bill. This is a multi-trillion dollar deficit-producing-plan which is being hoisted upon the population by fascists.
