Just an FYI for the editorial board, "The uninsured would be forced to wait until they are at death’s door for dialysis treatment at a hospital" is bad example under current law because End Stage Renal Dialysis patients needing dialysis are Medicare eligible. While some low income Medicare recipients might still be Medicaid/Medicare dual eligible and feel an impact from Medicaid changes they would not be entirely uninsured.

The problem with the editorial board's analysis is that their possible cost savings will almost certainly evaporate in the Senate (i.e. the age based tax credits will likely look more like income based credits which will not produce a net cost savings to fund Medicaid). The AHCA is simply not going to provide a pot of cash for Medicaid.

As the board admits that expanded Medicaid is necessary the question of funding really needs to be part of the broader discussion of the federal budget and national priorities.
