**Reckless Spending: House Republicans Allow California to Continue Its Medicaid Scams**
In a stunning betrayal of conservative principles, seventeen House Republicans sided with California Democrats to extend enhanced Obamacare premium subsidies for three years.
This move not only prolongs a system rife with inefficiencies but also inches closer to making these subsidies a permanent entitlement.
While millions of Americans continue to struggle with skyrocketing health care costs, these subsidies merely mask the problem instead of addressing it.
Since the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, the average annual premium for a family has soared to over $25,000.
Lost in the shuffle is the fact that these subsidies have done little to mitigate rising costs; instead, they insulate insurers from necessary competition and reform.
In parallel to this misguided legislation, California has been exploiting the Medicaid system to extract billions in federal funds through what critics are now calling legalized budget fraud.
The Intergovernmental Transfer loophole enables California's state-run hospitals to manipulate Medicaid financing, making it appear as if they are spending more on Medicaid to secure enhanced federal matching funds.
This cycle not only wastes taxpayer money but also accomplishes nothing for actual patients, serving only to prop up a flawed system.
Governor Gavin Newsom's recent budget proposal, which stands at a staggering $348 billion despite a $3 billion deficit, underscores the state’s reliance on these dubious practices.
Meanwhile, those who truly need help are left behind in a system that rewards waste while punishing efficiency.
The Senate has an opportunity to rectify this era of recklessness by rejecting the House's vote and eliminating permanent entitlement status for these subsidies.
It’s time lawmakers put an end to this charade and prioritize real reforms that empower patients instead of fostering dependency on faulty government programs.
The future of American health care depends not on more government handouts but on structural changes that promote competition, transparency, and real care for patients.
