Tonight I read that South Dakota schools are going to a 4 day week for school classes because the state cannot afford to send the same dollars to the local school districts. The reason for the reduced allocation is the increase in Medicaid expenditures.
Yes, Medicaid expenditures are a big source of any government's fiscal problems, but the answer does not exist in repealing the Affordable Healthcare Act of 2010. Rather it lies in improving it!
Improving it includes Medical Malpractice Reform, but also working to reduce Diabetes II preconditions, stupid end of life decisions, unnecessary medical tests, and moving from paying for acts to paying for overall patient care.
