People need skin in the game. And right now most Medicaid recipients don’t have any. The new bill also introduces small copays for them. [/quote]

Can you explain why people need 'skin in the game' to access health care?[/quote]

Because it’s expensive, taxpayers are funding them, and there needs to be some barrier to seeing a doctor for dumb reasons. The current costs are not sustainable. I pay $1300/month in premiums for the privilege to pay my family’s first $8,000 of health expenses per year out of pocket. You better believe we pause before deciding to see a doctor. [/quote]
dp.. I also have had private insurance, same premiums and deductible.  Having stated that, you can't get blood from stone.

Do you have evidence that a lot of people on medicaid are going to see the doctor for dumb reasons? Are there some who do? Yes, I'm sure there are.  But, is it really that many to make all of them have "skin in the game"?

Not a lot of doctors accept medicaid patients to begin with.  So, it's difficult for the poor to find doctors.

Does the "require to work" include single parents? Who is going to watch the kids while the parent goes to work?  Not our problem, you say?  Like it's not your problem once an unwanted baby is forced to be born by pro-birthers?[/quote]
