Medicaid Is Not the Solution – The Wall Street Journal

Your editorial “The Government’s Stealth Health Takeover” (Aug. 15) notes how employees and others are pushed into Medicaid and ObamaCare at considerable expense, but don’t forget the poor care that those patients receive. At my local hospital, only a handful are willing to admit such patients and become their providers.

For some reason, recipients of these government programs also tend to be much more entitled. They show up unannounced, miss appointments at an alarming rate, don’t get their labs done and forget to bring checks for copays, but many are still comfortable screaming at the front-desk personnel.
