Medicaid was started to help the disabled and mentally handicapped and that is what it should be doing. Over the past years it has morphed into a massive entitlement program that hands out welfare to some families making over 100K. In the end it is going to fail in it's mission to help the truly needy because of the democratic zealots desire to turn it to the first step of single payer failure. 

I was out of work a few years ago and needed a new plan for my family. Through the failure that is the ACA the only plan offered for my children was Medicaid. I have enough in savings to cover myself without work for 30 years, why was someone financially secure forced into medicaid?
