The exchanges are great for the first 3 years till the states have to start paying. Then the Sh*&^ hits the fan. Look at those goodies....taxpayers will be paying for all the wonderful benefits or they lead to single payers and the govt controlling us even more.
Oh dear, Suzanne. After the first 3 years, the states will go from paying 0% to 7% of the total costs of the Medicaid expansion! That is horrible! Please read the bill for the facts, instead of listening to pundits. First 3 years are covered 100% by federal dollars, then decreases to 93% federal coverage with states kicking in 7%.
If people knew the facts, they would be appalled that their repub governors are even considering not accepting medicaid expansion. They are denying access to care for the neediest in their states at NO cost to the state!
