🚨 THEY’RE LOOTING MEDICAID IN BROAD DAYLIGHT.
A new Paragon Health Institute analysis estimates 9.2 million people on Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion — nearly HALF the rolls — likely do not meet federal eligibility rules.
Income too high.
Citizenship/immigration status not met.
Residency not verified.
California is the epicenter: 62% of its expansion enrollees estimated ineligible. That’s 3.1 million people and $10.4 BILLION in federal costs in 2024 alone. New York is right behind it.
Nationwide price tag: $32.9 BILLION in one year.
States pocket savings by parking people in the 90% federally funded expansion group. Taxpayers eat the bill. The rolls keep growing.
This isn’t a rounding error. It’s a system that rewards sloppy verification and punishes the people actually paying for it.
Purge the ineligible. Equalize the match rates. Audit every state. End the free-for-all.
America First means Americans first.
