How Obamacare Will Make College More Expensive
John Merline writes at Investors.com:

ObamaCare relies heavily on Medicaid -- the federal/state program that provides health insurance for the poor -- to expand coverage.

But Medicaid is already swallowing up state budgets, forcing states to cut back on everything else, especially support for two- and four-year public colleges.

"The two biggest items of every state budget are Medicaid and education," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told IBD recently. "As the Medicaid mandate rises, the educational funding declines. That is passed on to universities and they raise tuition in order to make up for it."
