Medicaid Expansions
Grace-Marie Turner
National Journal, Experts: Health Care, September 21, 2009

Medicaid When I served on the Medicaid Commission from 2005-2006, one of the messages we frequently heard from Medicaid recipients who testified was that they wanted the dignity of private health insurance. Many felt confined to a Medicaid ghetto where they had the promise of generous medical benefits on paper, but in practice, they had difficulty finding any private physicians who would see them. Too many of them were forced to go to hospital emergency rooms to get even routine care. Why on earth would we want to expand this program to confine millions more people to this substandard access?
