What’s Medicaid?


At a House committee hearing last week, Rep. Gary Elkins, R-Houston, asked “What’s Medicaid?”

Seemed like a very elementary question for a member of the Human Services Committee.

Below is Elkins’ explanation, offered today, of the question. It was not as it seemed, he says.

To see Elkins ask the question click here and scroll three hours and three minutes into the hearing.

The operative quote is “What’s Medicaid? I know I hear it. I don’t really know what it is. I know that’s a big shock to everybody here in the audience.” Listen to the discussion before and after the quote to make your own judgment on Elkins’ explanation.
