Meet the Medicaid Double-Dippers

The feds find that 2.8 million people are on two government health-insurance plans

WSJ editorial. Excerpts:

"the government has now found that up to 2.8 million Americans are enrolled in two separate health plans underwritten by taxpayers. 

"1.2 million Americans last year were enrolled in Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program in two or more states."

"another 1.6 million enrolled in both Medicaid and an ObamaCare plan with taxpayer subsidies in 2024."

"The Biden Administration banned states from checking Medicaid eligibility more than once a year, though many people need the program only as a temporary safety net."

"the duplicate enrollment problem is costing as much as $14 billion a year."
