Quoting the Heritage Foundation is like quoting Fox news. You need to find better sources if anyone is supposed to take you seriously. Heritage foundation is NOT an un-biased or even reputable news reporting or information gathering entity. It MAY be accurate but no one with half a brain would use them in an argument.

Oh, also...medicaid pays 10% what a privately insured patient does for the same procedure.

Now, allow me to lay some facts on you about Medicaid.

58 million.. thats how many it serves. What you dont realize is that many are old age, disabled, who have also Medicare as well... or are waiting on disability to receive medicare.


Medicaid payments currently assist nearly 60 percent of all nursing home residents and about 37 percent of all childbirths in the United States. The federal government pays on average 57 percent of Medicaid expenses.

10% of what private insurance pays? Hardly

Medicaid typically pays physicians 56 percent of the amount that private insurers pay
