| Obamacare rollout leaves states shocked at Medicaid signups: 'What planet' is this? |
| 2013-11-02 |
| In just the first month of Obamacare's rollout, states are reporting a massive surge in the number of people signing up for Medicaid expansions versus the slow trickle of a few selecting the private insurer route -- and health experts are shocked: What is going on? "When we first saw the numbers, everyone's eyes kind of bugged out," said Matt Salo, head of the National Association of Medicaid Directors, in The Washington Post. "Of the people walking through the door, 90 percent are on Medicaid. We're thinking, what planet is this happening on?" |

| #5 Where is the money coming from. What Doctor will be in a plan that pays little and hang time for payment. So many payment delay games. |

| #4 Final estimate for Medicaid.....? How about a wild guess of approximately 48,000,000 million plus or minus. That's how many we've now got on food stamps. Shocking, no ? |

I'll bet he's continually amazed that he toilet flushes when he pushes that little lever. |
