[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im sorry for saying this but some of you all are so dumb. Low income people don't want their kids in school so they don't get sick?  Low income people don't have medical bills because they are on Medicaid?

Some of you should take a deep look at yourself and take time to learn.  You embody exactly why we are at 2 wks of protests that have spanned every state and over 13 countries.

Do you know how Medicaid works? Because I work in healthcare and they pay nothing. So no, they don't worry about medical bills. I'm not saying their life is easy by any means but medical bills are not one of their worries.

Medicaid recipients do have out of pocket expenses. Especially recipients who are working adults, which is most low income parents. You may not see a payment from them, but that isn’t true for all providers.[/quote]

Their out of pocket costs are very fixed and ridiculous (like $5 for certain prescriptions). But in most cases those out of pocket costs are for non essential medical care. For emergency/sick care it's pretty much always completely covered. And for kids it's even more so. [/quote]

Working class and many middle class families are not going to qualify for Medicaid and are nonetheless hurting. Moreover, Medicaid does not cover all expenses, particularly prescriptions. I’m not sure why people who have no idea what it’s like to be on Medicaid or to contend with financial instability are suggesting that families who are poor are better off with out jobs and kids not going to school. Absurd. [/quote]
