Medicaid Double Dipping Scam, Hypocrisy

Just when you think the Swamp smells bad enough, we are told the government has now found “up to 2.8 million Americans are enrolled in two separate health plans underwritten by taxpayers...” How do you spell “ObamaScam”?

The WSJ spelled it out for us in its op ed, “Meet the Medicaid Double-Dippers.” As the editorial board related, “Democrats haven’t taken a breath since the Republican budget bill passed, trying to scare Americans across the country that millions are about to lose Medicaid coverage. You won’t read this elsewhere, but ... The Centers for Medicare and Medicads Services reported late last week that 1.2 million Americans last year were enrolled in Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program in two or more states. The agency worked with software engineers to review enrollment data and it found another 1.6 million enrolled in both Medicaid and an ObamaCare plan with taxpayer subsidies in 2024. This is no great surprise, given that the Biden Administration’s policy was willful ignorance about whether folks enrolled in these

programs were eligible or continuing to need public assistance.”

So, how MUCH does this latest scam cost taxpayers? CMS estimates the duplicate enrollment costs up to $14 BILLION per year. Of course, the editors point out that the Dems, MSM allies and the hospital lobby are fighting tooth and nail to keep the blinders on everyone. They opine, however, “the GOP could do worse than hold up this embarrassment as the status quo that Democrats support.
