Who's up for Slavery?

OK, so we all knew the Obama Traveling Socialist Roadshow was trying to get everyone into the dance by making them dependent on gumment handouts, but man, this one is a real pip! MediCaid for everyone! That's better than a chicken in every pot! And we know how that chicken turned out - his goose was cooked before he was even plucked.

Or maybe it's a turnaround ploy about slavery - making white middle class America enslave itself to the government, without as much as a shot fired or a whip cracked.

AP Exclusive: Medicaid for the middle class? - Yahoo! News:

"WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama's health care law would let several million middle-class people get nearly free insurance meant for the poor, a twist government number crunchers say they discovered only after the complex bill was signed.

The change would affect early retirees: A married couple could have an annual income of about $64,000 and still get Medicaid, said officials who make long-range cost estimates for the Health and Human Services department.

After initially downplaying any concern, the Obama administration said late Tuesday it would look for a fix.

Up to 3 million more people could qualify for Medicaid in 2014 as a result of the anomaly. That's because, in a major change from today, most of their Social Security benefits would no longer be counted as income for determining eligibility. It might be compared to allowing middle-class people to qualify for food stamps.
