“You’re right, but why then, pay into Medicaid if they’re going to take your money right back?
Think of it like regular health insurance. You pay your premiums, you make a claim, insurance company pays the claim and then sends you a bill. What were you paying for?”

Funding for Medicare is done through payroll taxes and premiums paid by recipients.
Medicaid is funded by the federal government and each state. Of course that’s our tax dollars, too. The government has little money other than our money.
I’m aware.
They tried the same thing with my dad.
So, my dad pays into the system for 50 years. Paid for that insurance. Dies. And then they want all their money back.
Meanwhile, 5,000,000,000 and counting are getting everything for free.
Sorry, jacknhoo, that don’t ain’t hunting.
