"In 2011, the latest year for which data are available for both Medicaid and ESI populations, nearly 150,000 insured children aged 2–5 years received clinical care for ADHD, more than two-thirds of whom were Medicaid beneficiaries. Each year during 2008–2011, the percentage of children in Medicaid receiving care for ADHD was more than twice that for children with ESI. "

How is it that you can quabble about some insignificant detail and not feel outrage ?
Yes, it is outrageous that people on Medicaid have less access to treatment.
Children around the world are being medicated for being children! And the people doing this are psychiatrists.
No, they're being medicated for the disorder ADHD. Slight difference. Why are you not also "outraged" about all those kids being given behavior therapy for a disorder you don't believe exists?
