WSJ: 'The Baucus health bill will break 50 state budgets via Medicaid'

(Cartoon by Lisa Benson, via Townhall)
Wall Street Journal on Obamacare:
The more we inspect Max Baucus's health-care bill, the worse it looks. Today's howler: One reason it allegedly "pays for itself" over 10 years is because it would break all 50 state budgets by permanently expanding Medicaid, the joint state-federal program for the poor.
Democrats want to use Medicaid to cover everyone up to at least 133% of the federal poverty level, or about $30,000 for a family of four.Source: Wake Up America RSS Feed
