[From article]
"New York and New Jersey, have "stretched" dollars by slashing payments to the doctors who provide the care. They use the cash this frees up to ease eligibility rules and sign up more people
Doctors in those states would go broke caring for just Medicaid patients, so many refuse to participate in the program or limit the number of Medicaid patients they see. The result: The states with the biggest shares of their populations in Medicaid offer these enrollees the worst access to care and the poorest quality of health services.
It's a classic liberal con job: Offer more people government health "benefits" that actually do nothing to increase their access to good medical care, and likely reduce
access to care instead."
