Medicaid Is Next ObamaCare Crisis

by JASmius

So sayeth George Will, who didn't think to put together a game program to keep all these crises straight:

As the White House touted improvements to the troubled HealthCare.gov website Sunday morning, conservative pundit George Will said the real test might be in six months when employers begin to weigh their options for 2015.

"Watch the employers, because if they start dumping people into … Medicaid – and the doctors then say, the burdens are too high and the reimbursement is too low; we're not seeing Medicaid patients – then all hell is going to break loose," Will said on Fox News Sunday.

I don't want to spoil the ending here, but if the vast majority of Americans are dumped from the individual and employer-based health care plans that they like into Medicaid (only "the rich" will be able to afford private health insurance coverage), won't that essentially be....single payer?  Without another piece of ram-down legislation that would never even be introduced in the House?

And we keep saying that Red Barry is incompetent.

Former Senator Evan Bayh, D-IN, voted for ObamaCare, and admitted Sunday it hasn't worked out like he expected.

Oh, !#$% Evan Bayh.
