Of course, those are the truly needy. That's what MediCaid is for. Unfortunately there are now people working AND using MediCaid...that is wrong. They should be insured, and not sucking up the healthcare dollars from those who really need it.
Then there's the able bodied illegal aliens and other welfare parasites bilking the system.
So, my daughter, who should be able to work in some jobs, should not work, just so she can be covered by Medicaid?
That doesn’t make any sense!
She has a pre-existing condition. She will always have it. It will always be life threatening. On the other hand, with daily, careful management, she is pretty normal. She’ll never run marathons. She won’t be an astronaut. She won’t be able to join the military. But, she should be able to work at a desk job. She will most likely have more than the usual amount of medical absences. Life insurance companies won’t touch her, so I’m certain it will be the same with medical insurance when she isn’t covered by ours any more. Maybe Medicaid will be an option for her, but I hope I am raising her for more than to sit at home on a couch just so she can be covered by Medicaid!
