actually you're overlooking the fact that you're going to have to balance new members with people that are going to use more than they pay into the system. And one of the big issues with this bill is that it took no steps to widen access to primary care, or deal with the issue of doctors unwilling to take medicaid patients. This is likely to stear more individuals into ER's now that they have coverage
Not hardly. Younger people are not likely to use more than they pay in, and they are a large part of the population who should be now getting insurance. And it is false that took no action to encourage an increase in primary care. They did both in encouraging more doctors and in encouraging different methods of delivery. Someone mentioned this earlier (shockingly ignored).
