On the street? Are you homeless? If you are, move to NYC. Blue states have wonderful Medicaid. I shouldn’t tell you that, of course, but it’s true.
“on the street” is a colloquailism - i.e., man on the street - in the real world
Let me be the first to dash your impression of Medicaid in California - it sucks eggs for anything other than a sore throat or scrapped knee. I got up close and personal with it when I was thrown on the Medi-cal roles (along with thousands of others) instead of the Covered California roles where I should have been enrolled. Have you ever been sent 40 miles to practically onto a reservation out in the middle of nowhere to see a specialist with 40 people in his waiting room? yeah. Been there done that. It gives me so much to look forward to when I’m eligible for Calif-run Medicare.
