Medicaid is for low income people.  Why should someone making a good income be allowed to be on Medicaid?  Stop trying to game the system [/quote]
Virginia barely considers anyone "low-income" and has one of the stingiest Medicaid programs in the country.  Not low-income, to Virginia, means a single person making more than $17,237/year or a family of 3 earning more than $29,436, so nearly anyone employed (and not blind or elderly) and living in NoVA is going to have to qualify for a Katie Beckett waiver to get their kid covered.

It is absurd to expect anyone to bankrupt themselves providing appropriate medical care for their children.  I genuinely have no idea how anyone who's not [i]high[/i]-income manages it, between insurance, copays, the wait lists for in-network providers, the much better ones that don't take insurance at all, hospitalization, and prescriptions.[/quote]
