The people with the best & care are on Medicaid. All benefits no cost!

Not true.
Medicare only covers 80%. Most procedures have a copay even with Advantage plans.
The only group that gets Cadillac coverage are Unions and government.
My CT Scans cost me $280 each under a Medicare Advantage plan, without which it would have cost me >6 thousand dollars
I have a supplemental plan that pays its part of the 20% if the procedure is medically necessary. IOW no co pay. Not an Advantage plan or Medigap. It’s a Plan F. Never had to pay a cent and no copays if the doctor says I need it.
Medicare and Medicaid are different
Medicaid is for poor people. It covers 100% of all billed services.
You’re confusing it with Medicare.
Medicare is a program for the elderly. It is still better than most private standard health insurance, even from most employers. You can get a Plus program payment free with lower out of pocket expenses that the premiums paid for a Medicare Supplement.
I’ve had a life & health Insurance license for 30 years.
I put my parents on a Medicare Plus program more than 15 years ago. My father had several health problems including suffering a mild heart attack with stent installation as well as a several day stay in the hospital for Diverticulitus in the same year. He NEVER reached his $2,000 Out of Pocket maximum expense until he developed terminal liver disease at 76. He died three years later.
My wife & I pay more than $6,400 a year for premiums for our employer sponsored HSA program that has a $7,000 deductible for a family of six.
We spend $13,500 before the Insurance pays a penny. We often exceed the out of pocket. We have six boys. They all play sports.
People in poverty have better healthcare than most working & middle-class families.
