Medicaid is an entitlement. Unlike Medicare where one pays in for your working life, Medicaid recipients can receive it even if they never worked a day in their life or paid in one red cent.
Right, there are some that need medicaid while there are others who abuse it to the nth degree. My mother worked and paid into her retirement all her life and had insurance ..in the end she went to a nursing home full of people on medicaid and bet many never paid much into it...yet they do get the same care...hence “entitlement”...level the playing field
