    Medicaid started out as a small program to cover poor people's medical bills. Now it covers 1 in 5 Americans. http://nyti.ms/2nZVGoE pic.twitter.com/3nsS1sPQQx

        The dramatic increase in Medicaid coincides with supply-side economic policy; too much wealth concentrated at the top; low wages.

        Lowering barriers to entry would improve competition & pricing in the market. Medicaid enrollmt rising w/ lazy dumbfucks.

        That's because that's how many poor people we have in this country. The richest country in the world but we refuse to help our own.

        @LAhealthpolicy What have we done? We built a healthcare system 74 million of us cannot afford insurance against. Shame on us.
