Doctors, Medicaid and Exchange

The school system where wifey works had a program for the lower functioning students. They learned life skills. How to count money, operate a cash register, menial tasks in blue collar positions, cosmetology, cooking, etc.

Those kids, the ones that applied themselves, were able to get real jobs that paid at or slightly above minimum wage with a chance for advancement.

The school system eliminated the "career center" and replaced it with a welcome center for new enrollee's and encouraged them to sign up for college prep courses.

Total cluster xxxx.

I'm sure it has NOTHING to do with that totally bogus US News list every year that lists HS rankings based on one thing-AP tests.

You know there is a possibility that the new Medicaid people are healthier. Why? These are the people who couldn't afford healthcare before, working poor. Working poor has nothing really to do with health, a working poor person usually doesn't have access to health care, it doesn't mean they are automatically sicker people.

So the ACA is pushing people who would normally not be in the health care system because of affordability not illness. So yea, it is possible for Medicaid to be a cash cow. At least for now.
