While Democrats usually improve Republicans to turn into pretzels in the field of healthcare, the latter survey in the Medicaid case can provide some clarity. The Medicaid extension, about which we all knew underrated registration and prepared the ground so that the state budgets were torpedoed, is not becoming more and more popular among voters. In fact vote From the Government Responsibility Foundation, he shows that voters want to freeze the expansion of Medicaid, what is exactly what GOP wants to do. When voters were said that the number of competent Americans was higher than expected, and that it saved $ 11 billion in the first year and $ 500 billion after ten years, that such savings can be redirected to infrastructure, public security and education and education – the shift. In general, 52 percent of Americans support the “unwinding” of the expansion of Medicaid. In the event of a partisan failure, 78 percent of Republicans support it, as well as 49 percent of the independent and 31 percent Democrats.
In relation to competent Americans, where there are other ways to find health insurance instead of joining the program intended for the needy, 51 percent are opposed to their further participation in the expansion from Obama’s time.
Along the 86 percent of the Republican party line is opposed to more competent Americans enrolling in this program, as well as 14 percent of democrats and 55 percent of independent. In this case, only GOP and independent voters support it.
IN statement This accompanied the survey, the president and general director of FGA, Tarren Bragdon, said:
“Obamacare’s extension to efficient adults exposed really needy and cost taxpayers billions of dollars. The results of this survey strengthen the damage caused by Medicaid expansion – and that voters want to change. Freezing entries can save taxpayers at least $ 500 billion in ten years, maintaining funds for education, public security, infrastructure and the most sensitive.
When voters are informed about freezing the provisions for efficient, it will allow the program to be used to truly needy, support increases to 55 percent, with 36 percent of Democrats support this move, which is a significant part of the left.
When you enter the weeds, the program has become something like a humanitarian disaster. Avik Roy, Wonk Health Care Policy, was quoted by the University of Virginia, which showed that people without insurance are more vulnerable to survival than people enrolled in Medicaid. On average, legislators must find 2-3 USD cuts to save one dollar in Medicaid expenses. We cannot make corrections until I am rejected. At the moment, the extension is incredibly expensive. In Ohio itself, the expansion made by GOP Governor John Kasich can cost taxpayers $ 27.5 billion by 2020. In September, senator Ron Johnson (R-we) demanded a response from the number of Ohio to saving-shocker-had exploded (Columbus shipping):
Johnson also sent such a letter to the governors of California, Illinois, New York, Michigan, New Hampshire, West Virginia and Hawaii. Their countries were among 32 states to extend Medicaid.
In his letter to Kasich, Johnson asks why the registration of the expansion of Ohio “increased far beyond the initial forecasts.” He said that federal data show that registration to Ohio increased by 42 percent in 2014-2015, and by August 2016 the newly qualified registration of the state was 60 percent in relation to forecasts.
Johnson also wrote that the registration cost increased, from USD 4,136 in 2014 to USD 5,604 in 2015 – an escalate of 35 percent.
Johnson asked six questions about this height, in whether Ohio “ordered or considered” all audits to examine why the costs of expansion of Medicaid increased as much above forecasts. And he wants Kasich to create documents and communication related to the one who qualified for expansion, as well as payment rates for insurance companies under Medicaid expansion.
For now, the struggle of the hill with tax reform, but healthcare will return to in one way or another. GOP has been campaigning for almost a decade of repealing Obamacare. This cannot be reflected. The basis will not allow it and should not.

The only reservation is that the size of the sample is only about 523. It’s a bit tiny.
