"EVERYONE I have ever met who is on Medicaid is scamming the system."

You need to volunteer more helping the truly needy. Drop in on the local developmentally disabled day care and see if you can help them some way. You'll meet some truly needy people that need that program and aren't just scamming it.

Disclaimer, I don't volunteer like that, myself, though I recognize it would be good to do. But I did have a job where I got exposure to them.

I have no doubt there are truly needy, but such massive Gov’t involvement in medicine is what is creating scarcity anyway.

You are taking the leftist argument - ANY change to the corrupt free-for-all that is taking place now will hurt someone. Can’t have that! So nothing is done.

Wait until we turn into Argentina or Venezuela. There will be plenty of poor to worry about then.

And for every one of those I can show you two homeless shelters where they trade stories on how to screw the system.

I've worked with them (the homless and disabled) for the past fifteen years in one shape or form, and I stand by PGR88's assessment.

That is a minuscule percentage of the total; You know that and I know that.

We know damned well, those are NEVER counted among the leeches and the parasites.
