That's why I always call it "medical welfare"...but the lying RATs insist on calling it "insurance".
There are no ‘monthly premiums’ for Medicaid but there may be a share of cost dependent on income.
But there should be, and it should be based on a sliding scale (ability to pay) all the way down to full subsidy for the truly needy.
Anybody should be able to "buy in" to unsubsidized MediCaid, but I don't know why they would, if an available private insurance plan is cheaper, and has better benefits.
If the share of cost is $0 then the person pays nothing and Medicaid covers 100%.
>>then the person pays nothing and the taxpayers cover 100%.

Apparently you didn’t read my post all the way through. A sliding scale based on income is exactly the way Medicaid works.
