Washington, D.C. – The Club for Growth Foundation released a new study detailing the ways states have expanded their Medicaid programs, wasting billions of taxpayer dollars and quietly driving the nation toward a de facto Medicaid-for-All system.
While expansion states barrel ahead, many non-expansion states have opened the floodgates to costly service expansions without formally adopting Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion. Fortunately, the Club for Growth Foundation’s State Economic Scorecard series is shining a spotlight on state legislatures, bringing much-needed transparency to the legislative decisions quietly driving these liberal, anti-growth policies. The Washington Reporter’s Matthew Foldi covered the release in an exclusive report.
“While much of the attention around Medicaid has been in Washington, legislatures in red and blue states across the country have been complicit in wasting billions of taxpayer dollars and ballooning welfare programs into a de facto Medicaid for all system,” said Club for Growth Foundation President David McIntosh. “Lawmakers must reverse course on this unsustainable approach to lower medical costs and ensure their constituents are positioned to succeed for generations to come. Thankfully, through its State Economic Scorecard series, the Club for Growth Foundation is exposing these previously hidden schemes and empowering Americans with a behind the scenes look at the policies impacting their livelihood.”
