So $360B for medicaid, $461B for insurance subsidies (had to find that number on another site) comes to $821B. Where is the other $49B going? Was more of a question than assessment.

Although $360B of the $870B is being used to expand Medicaid, the bulk of costs is being allocated to Families making between $90K and $30K along with companies with <25 employees to subsidize private insurance.

It looks like the only real service being provided is an expansion of Medicaid. Is it right to say that we would be paying $870 billion and the only real return is an expansion of Medicaid?
