So, requiring that folks with the means to pay for their own medical care actually do pay for their own medical care is extortion?
Money does horrible things to children. The scheme, rationalize, cajole and wheedle. That money in their parents’ home, their savings, etc. is THEIRS, and by damn, even if the rest of us have to usher the parents off to death on our nickel, they by damn better get theirs.
The extortion would be when the govt requires them to purchase the health ins, in this case through medicaid, making them sign over their house when they could have chosen an affordable method to cover their health care except for that same govt.
