Medicaid was created for the disabled, children, pregnant women with no insurance, and single women with no access to health insurance; it was not created for able bodied people who are able to work.  Obamacare used the Medicaid program to dump people in and now these able bodied people have gotten used to 'free" (to them, not to us) healthcare and don't want to lose it. However, doctors have put a limit on Medicaid patients and Medicare patients because they can't keep their practice open with the low government payments. 

One of the worst things that ever happened to this country is Obamacare and it will be tough to rid ourselves of it because the non-producers are beginning to outnumber the producers.

Yep, all conservatives want all liberals dead. That is why you keep seeing reports of radical right wing nuts doing things like riots in the streets and shooting Democrat Congressmen at ball games. 

Oh wait that was a left wing nut wasn't it?

Giving lazy able-bodied folks and  greedy Insurance companies a huge pass means it can't pass.
