[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My job is helping poor people in a medical setting and what I've noticed is a majority of the people getting free and cheap medical care are elderly, or mentally or physically disabled. Many are not even literate and more are mentally ill. They truly are unable to care for themselves in many ways.  They are so poor, free medical care is all they have, but they often can't even afford transportation to their appointments.  There isn't a reason in the world to feel these people are getting something better or more easily than you.  You cannot hold them to the same expectations you have for yourself, and it would be cruel and uncivilized to deny them basic heathcare, food and shelter. [/quote]
So maybe we need to have parameters for the people getting free. Elderly or physically/mentally disabled, fine. Everyone else of working age and mind needs to pay $10, but will continue getting their expensive insurance fully paid. I mean, really, it's not like l'm saying they need to pay the hundreds of dollars I have to scrounge up now that Obamacare doesn't cover anything.

Plus, why do they deserve BETTER care? Are you aware that low-income continue to get annual checks-ups free of charge (because everything is free of charge) but the moderate earner now only gets a free checkup up once every two years under some exchange plans? Part of the ACA was that you got a free checkup (but of course you have to pay $15k in premiums), but Obama sneakily changed that. I found out from my doctor.

So I ask....why do low-income get an annual checkup, when they pay nothing for insurance.....and the middle-income have to wait two years, when they pay $10,000 to $15,000 a year for insurance that won't cover anything?
