Sneaky Expensive Gimmick for Government paid Healthcare for all

Biden and Newsom Push Forward Insane New Proposal

You want socialized medicine?

The Biden Administration and California Governor Gavin Newsom have just taken a bold move that flies in the face of the legacy of Robin Hood: tax the working and middle-class to fund the healthcare of the wealthy.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services recently authorized California’s request to dissolve the asset verification requirement of its Medicaid Program (known as Medi-Cal). This would expand Medi-Cal eligibility to wealthier Californians since it no longer requires a person to prove they are poor or of modest means.

The Social Security Act of 1940 states that Medicaid’s eligibility guidelines must include verification of assets, income, and employment status. But, due to the chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic, emergency measures were taken and Medicaid enrollment grew without proper eligibility verification.

At least 50% of California’s Medicaid Program (Medi-Cal) is funded by the Federal Medical Assistance Program. So, if California waives the asset verification requirement, then Americans who are not from California will be paying for the healthcare of California’s wealthy.

This gimmick opens it up for other states to follow. Let's just grow our national debt--it's what Democrats do best.

Biden loves to give $$$ away
