Media Spin

Do you think more people on Medicaid is a good thing? I don't. It means the taxpayers are supporting more people they can't afford to support and our country is going deeper and deeper into debt.

But the media evidently thinks it's wonderful -- check out this headline and see if you agree:

"Obamacare helps boost Medicaid rolls: Enrollment up by 3 million since late last summer."

"The increase in Medicaid enrollments across the country is encouraging," said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. Am I missing something here? Doesn't that mean that we have 3 million more people who are so destitute they can't pay their own way? Why is that encouraging?
