Just as millions of people are gaining insurance through Medicaid, the program is poised to make deep cuts in payments to many doctors, prompting some physicians and consumer advocates to warn that the reductions could make it more difficult for Medicaid patients to obtain care

As predicted, the large number of new medicaid patients (courtesy of the Obamacare exchanges) are finding it very difficult to find physicians due to low reimbursement. Initially, fees were increased to entice physicians to accept new medicaid patients. Now, with fees falling, patients "have insurance", but have no access, with the exception of emergency rooms.
I can't wait to see what the government spend on Medicaid is going to be with all the additional users
