It turns out that as many as 80% of the new enrollees in ObamaCare in some states are being enrolled in Medicaid, and that is funded in part by state revenues. The two effects of this are that states are now facing massive unfunded liabilities that will bankrupt many of them, and that even if we are able to get repeal ObamaCare, we are unlikely to be able to roll back this massive new entitlement expansion of Medicaid.

Here is a video by Dick Morris that gives a good explanation.

But ... but ... the solution is so simple and directly in front of us!

We just need to peel back 80% of defense spending to finance the needs of the many on Medicaid!

I am sure geopolitical stability will prevail as we make massive withdrawals from both overseas and domestic bases and no one will attack us once we show our soft underbelly and our vulnerability and how compassionately and trustingly we can act! We need to re-order our national priorities to take care of OUR own! We have way too many overly privileged people hogging national medical resources and driving costs! Tell those rich people to get in line with everyone else and wait their turn for their fair share of medical attention!

We are all in this TOGETHER!

YES, WE CAN!
