I think I remember reading recently that ~4million people in Texas (out of a population of ~25 million) are covered by Medicaid

4 million out of a population of 25 million?! Wow. That's a huge proportion.
I'm having trouble understanding how giving 17% of the population a suck on the state tit can be considered "stingy".
Amongst the remaining population, probably no more than 50-60% are employed in the private sector, so every working person is essentially picking up 1/3rd of the health care tab for one medicare recipient.
That's gotta run a couple or three grand a year.....
.....yeah, I'm having trouble understanding how dropping a couple grand a year on a complete stranger is "stingy".
