***Anyone who can afford $50/day for heroin can afford medicine.***

True.
But junkies aren't paid through Medicaid. They get their dope money each month from the Social Security Administration. The SSI program to be exact.

Which is kind of funny when you think of it (in a sick sense) - the SSA is going broke and grannies 'bingo money' is threatened, but a 23 year old junkie immediately qualifies for a guaranteed benefit to feed his 'jones'.

But Medicaid pays the bills when they get sick, as they all do.
