In a recent Washington Examiner post, Sally Pipes painted a biased, inaccurate, and incomplete picture of the Medicaid program and its expansion.

Pipes wrote, for example, that Medicaid represents a significant portion of state budgets. Medicaid is a priority investment, it is true, but that’s not the whole story. Since 1999, the per-enrollee costs of Medicaid have grown more slowly than costs per person for Medicare and private insurance. In some years, Medicaid spending per enrollee actually decreased.
