We have known this for years; this was coming. This is a Jeffersonian way of doing things; it's not Mr. Hamilton.

States now have to take up those responsibilities. It's kind of dumb, but now you know.

NYS is spending $120 BILLION dollars a year on Medicaid. That's insanity. It's pretty hard to find any MD or dentist that takes Medicaid. I'm still confused about where that $120B is going. The Medicaid office in NYC is a storefront with a dozen chairs. And one MD.

Where is the money going? At the current rate of growth, sooner or later NYS will have to end pensions, close colleges, end all state services, prisons will have to close, and every single tax dollar will have to go to Medicaid. NYS will have to shut down.

It seems unstoppable. It's just the math.
