To join Medicaid you must meet income guidelines. Many people cannot get Medicaid because they make too much money. But at the same time they don't make enough money to buy health insurance.
Because a few have problems, they are destroying our entire healthcare system. It's no more than an excuse, there were about a billion ways to take care of those people without trampling our freedom and killing our economy.
No one, and I mean no one even Democrats, can possibly believe they are doing anything good with this monster.
But when you read the details of Medicaid you find exceptions for children in families that are above the income limit. A high deductable insurance policy for adults doesn’t cost a lot. I have one and it’s very affordable. I’m not saying Medicaid is perfect, but I’d much rather see expanded Medicaid coverage instead of this massive nationalization of the health care industry. There are ways to fix problems in the current system without the great loss of personal freedom that would result from Pelosicare.
