Bernie Sanders: 'My Medicaid Matters Rally'

Before one celebrates how great the Medicaid health insurance program is, they should understand that it's a bare-bones operation. Meaning that it only covers certain things and not other things, including health care that people may need to survive. It's very expensive for the states to run and for the most part do run this program with not much help from the Federal Government who make them run it. States don't have a choice. If the Feds don't come up with the money, they are let's say stuck (for lack of a better word) and have to find that missing revenue for themselves.
