ObamaCare’s Medicaid expansion, once touted as a solution to the opioid crisis, not only has failed to stem the crisis but may also be exacerbating it, claims a new study from the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA).
“Both politicians and policy experts hyped Medicaid expansion as an answer to rising overdose deaths. Others warned that any cuts to Medicaid would surely make the crisis even worse,” wrote the FGA’s Michael Greibrok and Sam Adolphsen. “However, seven years of data has not born this out.”
