37% of NY residents are on Mediciad
32% of California residents are on Medicaid
Other states with very high percentages include Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Oregon. I think the national average is 22% so other states aren't nearly as high.
When you think of Medicaid you think of poor people. It's certainly not good when 1/3 of your residents are in that category.
