Medicaid Rolls Balloon to 80 Million

Among the big winners from the enlarged Medicaid rolls are private health plans, which most states use to cover their enrollees. Health plans such as those run by managed-care titans UnitedHealthcare, Molina Healthcare and Centene Corp. receive a payment from states each month based on enrollment. That means these insurers can profit if they control costs, but they lose money if expenses to treat enrollees are too high.

Not COVID, but the new administration boosts so many people into Medicaid. Even people who don't want to deal with Medicaid. Sorry for being so brutaly honest, but I see it very often. For the government is obviously the same where they will subsidize: in the Marketplace or in Medicaid. For the insurers: their profit is under control when they play administrators in Madicaid, not insurers. Am I wrong?
