NYC Medicaid Near Critical Condition: 37% of the City

The New York Post reports:

The number of city residents qualifying for Medicaid has hit a record that's likely to go even higher next year when enrollment will almost certainly reach the milestone 3 million mark -- or more than 37 percent of the population, officials said yesterday.

As of July, a record 2,927,952 people here were getting their health insurance covered by the government. Although the numbers fluctuate slightly from month to month, the annual trend is headed in one direction: up.

No word on this one from New York politicians who claim they are fighting for the middle class: unlike Texas.
