The Federal Government covers 90% of the Medicaid expansion costs. Which means that there is a some cost in terms of state taxes.
But that's not the reason I usually see expressed. It usually comes expressed like this:
“The health care industrial complex made up of hospitals, medical device manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies are the great robber barons of our time,” Oliva said. “The term robber baron is defined by government manipulation, monopolizing industry and price gouging.”
“We must reform Medicaid and double down on pursuing common-sense policy reforms to unleash innovation and increase access that can all lead to lowering costs,” Zander said.
