(11,417 posts)1. Here's what the baggers ignore serving
people who are in the expanded Medicaid results in 100% reimbursement to the provider rather than 50% as it is now.
that's what boils me over. The lying and misrepresenting about the ACA. Nothing baggers have said as been true yet they have all these people believing them. The stupid is strong with baggers.

who see lots of Medicaid patients and make a decent living, while truly helping people.
And poster above is correct, the new laws provide better reimbursement (but some states are stalling in implementing the changes).
