medicaid is a single payer health care system so it's far less expensive than running it through like united health care the schemes twenty percent off the tops of steven james lee can have over a billion dollars in as c.e.o. of the guy before a dollar bill mcguire took one point six billion dollars all these fancy houses all over the world built by united health care so you know you can't have that operation know your child has to die from that medicaid is a single payer program i mean it's the most efficient way to deliver health care what's wrong with it i think people forget that even if these health insurance programs that we've set up by the government programs like medicaid and i think lawyer was referencing the study about oregon's expansion of medicaid but they did long before obamacare ever came into being even if those programs don't necessarily improve people's outcomes there are still excepts because they reduced. the medical to that and so on lori as you said medicaid has been shown to work i know nothing about anything that indicates anything other than that ever since the six
