"And if your siblings are making less than 133% of the poverty line as I mentioned, then they are eligible for Medicaid via the vehicle that your state offers and if they aren’t on it, that is their fault. That’s what I meant by the pooorer are already on medicaid."

Oh, and I'll be sure to tell my son & nephews that they should go back down to the health and human services dept. and tell them that you said they should sign them up for Medicaid, even though they already told them sorry about your luck. That unless you have a major health problem, or are married with a child your on your own.

You are correct that each state has the ability to define circumstances of eligibility beyond poverty so perhaps a grass roots effort to get your state to expand the definitions of those circumstances are in order?

But are you not making the argument that there needs to be an avenue for a person to enter the private health insurance market via subsidies if they are unemployed or at the poverty line? I know you will continue to call me a troll for asking that question but if you follow the logic carefully, that is exactly what you just did vis a vis the emotion evoked with regard to the circumstances of your son and nephews.
