Yeah, the ACA has done massive damage to this country, good find

What does the ACA have to do with it.? The trend started long before the ACA was enacted. A big part of the problem -if you read the attachment- is the short comings of Medicare. Yet the same damned fools who rail against the ACA want to gut or kill Medicare.

Older Americans are filing for bankruptcy at more than double the rate of just 25 years ago, a sign of a "coming storm of broke elderly," a new study finds.

The rate of people 65 and over filing for bankruptcy grew nearly 204 percent from 1991 to 2016, a study published by the Social Science Research Network found, and the percentage of seniors among all U.S. bankruptcy filers increased by nearly five times over the same period.

"Three main ACA changes lead to Medicaid enrollment gains. Medicaid expansion to low-income adults. The ACA expands Medicaid eligibility to adults with incomes at or below 138 percent of the poverty line, which is just over $16,000 per year for an individual today.May 5, 2014"

How is the ACA Impacting Medicaid Enrollment?

"New data released by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) shows that as of the end of March 2014, Medicaid and CHIP enrollment had increased by over 4.8 million people since open enrollment began for the new Health Insurance Marketplaces in October 2013. These data help provide a better understanding of how the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is impacting Medicaid enrollment,"

Differences between Medicare and Medicaid - Medicare Interactive

• "Medicare is a federal program that provides health coverage if you are 65 and older or have a severe disability, no matter your income.
• Medicaid is a state and federal program that provides health coverage if you have a very low income.
• If you are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid (dually eligible individual), you can have both, and they will work together to provide you with health coverage at very low cost to you."

nit picking to me. LOL. both government funded no matter how you fking slice it. and they increased due to the ACA.

The ACA in no way affected Medicare other than that Obambi pulled money OUT of Medicare. It caused a great increase in Medicaid.
