If he was trying to buy him an unsubsidized policy on the Exchange (rather than sign up for Medicaid), there wouldn't have been any reason for him to go to the welfare office.

I've been thinking about this and it's possible the son does qualify since he's an adult living separate from his family and a full time student. What isn't possible is that his son was enrolled against his will. If he qualified he would have had to go to a seperate website (kynect) and fill out the application there to get on Medicaid. It's not possible he was enrolled against his will like Rand Paul is claiming. They had to actively seek out the option for Medicaid before he was enrolled.
