dont read all my posts then, just pick the one before the one where i give figures, a BBC documentary i saw said that 13,000 people died in the US last year becuase they couldnt afford healthcare

FROM YOUR LINK ON WIKIPEDIA:

Medicaid is the United States health program for eligible individuals and families with low incomes and resources. It is a means-tested program that is jointly funded by the states and federal government, and is managed by the states.[1] Among the groups of people served by Medicaid are eligible low-income parents, children, seniors, and people with disabilities. Being poor, or even very poor, does not necessarily qualify an individual for Medicaid.[2] It is estimated that approximately 60 percent of poor Americans are not covered by Medicaid.[3] Medicaid is the largest source of funding for medical and health-related services for people with limited income in the US. Because of the aging population, the fastest growing aspect of Medicaid is nursing home coverage.

The poorest Americans are covered.  That 60% aren't part of "The poorest."  They're above that.

Thanks for the ignorance though.

 

so, you think that people who are poor, but not too poor dont deserve healthcare

No.  I was just pointing out your ignorance and correcting your mistake.  You really seem to make a lot of misconceptions about stuff based on slanted documentries rather then actually doing any research yourself.

Which is a shame... doing research and seeing how things really work rather then having it force fed to you is a lot more educational and rewarding.
