@davidallen Do you feel hoodwinked?
I bet you supported this program.
So the article states:
"The development was first reported by The Lund Report, an Oregon-based outlet. The outlet had previously cited estimates that there are more than 110,000 illegal immigrants in the state and that the program would cost $100 million in the next two years."
$100M over 2 years works out to less than $500/yr per enrollee. Yet according to medicaid.gov, Oregon pays nearly $11K per enrollee. Your $50M/yr program will actually cost your medicaid budget $2B/yr.
So my real question: If they had told the truth about the program's cost and the obvious impact it will have on the state's budget going forward, would you still support this bill? Do you think most Oregonians would?
