At best, this is a raspberry blown to state voters in the guise of saving money. But can it really save as Redman says?
Looking to the long-term, erasing Medicaid expansion can cost the state millions of more dollars than it saves. Why? Medicaid is an insurance program for the very poor, and currently, Idaho’s Department of Health and Welfare reports 450,000 residents are covered by Medicaid, including the 89,000 enrolled in the expansion. These are families of four or more who make less than $3,193 a month or individuals who make less than $1,563 a month and have no insurance from their employers.
