Where That ‘Free’ $2.4 Billion is Coming From to Pay For Medicaid Expansion in NH

Dems Kicking-Grandma off cliffNothing is free.  In the debate to expand Medicaid in NH-which is nothing more than a race to claim $2.4 Billion in Federal bribes in exchange for trapping New Hampshire in the sticky ObamaCare web of lies, more than a few people who should know better are trying to convince you that the Federal money is, well, free.

Anyone with any sense at all knows this is not true.  Money does not appear by magic.  It comes from someones pocket.  Not even the money the Treasury prints by the truckload is “free” because that just dilutes the value of the dollars you have by making them worth less.  There is no free money.

So the Medicaid bribe is not free.

Replacing it after it is used up will not be free.  Paying for what it pays for forever will not be free.  Even if we ignore all these unpleasant facts and others, like the fraud, waste, abuse, inferior care, decreases in quality and access for everyone, there is one ‘fact’ that you had best reconcile before you vote yes on expanding Medicaid in NH.  It is a very likely, highly likely fact that the $2.4 Billion you are so eager to take is coming out of that $700+ billion dollar cut to Medicare.

If you want to grasp a $2.4 billion dollar expansion of an inefficient program we don’t need that will not improve health outcomes and may actually make them worse you will have to accept that you are taking that money from senior citizens whose care will decline as a result.

To borrow from the Socialist Democrat hate speech vernacular, “you’ll be pushing granny off a cliff.”
