        @PaulBegala @statnews Only 8% of population is truly chronically ill. Stop Medicaid for freeloaders and illegal aliens.

        All welfare for people who commit illegal acts should end.

        Under a per capita cap, a state would get ~ $2000 for their care. #Rationing

        @PaulBegala @statnews Medicaid should never have been expanded to cover voluntary behavior i.e. substance abuse. Huge error.
